“This latest collection on NZE manages to strike the balance between providing an overview of previous studies on the one hand — what we know and still need to learn about NZE — and original research on the other hand. It was the editors' aim "that the book should serve the interests of students of NZE and scholars of English varieties world wide" (p.22). The articles collected in this volume succeed in doing this: they give an excellent overview of the state of the art in studies on NZE; at the same time, the inclusion of papers which provide a more general theoretical and methodological perspective will not fail to attract the second type of intended speaker.”
