Prosodic features of Australian and New Zealand English

The most striking prosodic feature of these varieties of English is the high rising contour on declarative clauses. It is especially common in narratives. The feature goes by various names, but most usually High Rising Tone/Terminal (HRT) or Australian Questioning Intonation.

 

Maori English shows a strong tendency to syllable-timing, under the influence of the mora-based timing of the Maori language. There are also strikingly different features within both Maori and Aboriginal English prosody, most notably with respect to voice quality and rhythm.
