Getting into a Flap! /t/ in New Zealand English.

Bauer, Laurie; Holmes, Janet

World Englishes, v15 n1 p115-24 Mar 1996

Examines the constraints on the realization of "/t/" in New Zealander English. On the basis of an examination of the speech of two similar speakers from that country, a series of allophonic rules is provided. The article shows that the distribution of allophones for these speakers is not the same as for other speakers who have been previously analyzed. (35 references) (Author/CK)
