A historical record of New Zealand English words and phrases.
The Dictionary of New Zealand English provides a unique historical record of New Zealand words and phrases from their earliest use to the present day. Its 6,000 main headword entries and 9,300 separate subentries provide fascinating insights into New Zealand's diverse linguistic heritage. Coverage includes words and phrases originating from New Zealand such as chateau cardboard, dog-dosing, glide time, judder bar, nappy valley, and peggy square, which reflect a lively local penchant for innovation, while others such as biddy-bid and taihoa illustrate the unique influence of the Maori language. Many of the entries such as hotel, rabbit-proof, and remittance man have a particular meaning in New Zealand, or have special historical significance. Other examples such as yacker merely confirm New Zealand's special relationship with Australia.
