NZILBB linguist and senior lecturer Dr Lynn Clark said the aim was to “shed light on the speed and mechanism” of accent changes. “They show (the children) a little video, and ask them what happened and I can use those elements of the data in my research because it gives you quite naturalistic speech,” she said.
