SUMMARY:Language purism in language contact: A case study of New Zealand E
 nglish and New Zealand Maori - Miriam Meyerhoff (Oxford)

DESCRIPTION:New Zealand English (NZE) and New Zealand Maori (NZM) have bee
 n in regular contact since the 19th century. Despite widely-celebrated rev
 italisation efforts such as the ‘language nests’\, NZM remains much le
 ss widely-spoken than NZE. Some NZM vocabulary has been incorporated into 
 everyday NZE and in recent years there has been an increase in the use of 
 NZM lexicon in a variety of domains. How to pronounce these NZM borrowings
  when they are used in NZE has become a bit of a cultural litmus test. One
  of my interests is in how the nature of the linguistic systems in contact
  constrain and influence what features become iconicised and the subject o
 f verbal hygiene practices.
