先前的研究表明，新西兰英语的两个主要民族语言显示出不同的节奏特征（例如，Warren 1998，Szakay 2006）。根据Grabe & Low（2002）的建议，Szakay（2006）使用标准化的元音成对变异指数（PVI）来衡量节奏，表明毛利英语比欧洲血统的主要变体Pakeha英语更注重音节计时。本研究旨在探讨听者是否意识到这种韵律差异，以及他们是否能够调整到说话者的节奏，以促进方言识别。
Previous research has demonstrated that the two main ethnolects of New Zealand English display distinct rhythmic qualities (e.g., Warren 1998, Szakay 2006). Using the normalised vocalic Pairwise Variability Index (PVI) to measure rhythm, as suggested by Grabe & Low (2002), Szakay (2006) showed that Maori English is significantly more syllable-timed than Pakeha English, the main variety used by speakers of European descent. The present study set out to investigate whether listeners are aware of this prosodic difference and whether they are capable of tuning in to speaker rhythm to facilitate dialect identification.
