title: Process sedimentology of the Waikato River mouth, Port Waikato, New Zealand: The depositional record of a mixed-energy river mouth

authors: Podrumac, Anya

subjects: process sedimentology

abstract: Interacting fluvial and marine processes at the Waikato River mouth control sedimentation patterns at the sand spit. These interacting processes cause tidal asymmetry between the ebb and flood tide, and produce multidirectional currents, orientated east, west, north, north-west, and south. Depositional processes at the Waikato River mouth are recorded using oceanographic instrumentation, and are linked to their corresponding sedimentary deposits. Sedimentary bedforms on the sand spit include wave- and combined-flow ripples and dunes, and planar bedding, produced from interacting fluvial and wave currents. Despite tides directly controlling sediment deposition, tides manifest as rising and falling water levels, affecting current magnitude and velocity, but are not directly indicated in terms of “tidal” sedimentary structures. Preservation potential of bedforms are low, with the sedimentary recorded dominated by structureless sand, from rarely occurring low flow velocity periods in the early- to mid-ebb tide. The Waikato River mouth is classified as wave-dominated, fluvially influenced and tide affected (Wft).

title: /u/ fronting and /t/ aspiration in Māori and New Zealand English

authors: Maclagan, Margaret

subjects: Maori

abstract: This article examines the relationship between the frontness of /u/ and the aspiration of /t/ in both Māori and New Zealand English (NZE). In both languages, these processes can be observed since the earliest recordings dating from the latter part of the nineteenth century. We report analyses of these developments for three groups of male speakers of Māori spanning the twentieth century. We compare the Māori analyses with analyses of related features of the speakers' English and of the English of monolingual contemporaries. The occurrence of these processes in Māori cannot be seen simply as interference from NZE as the Māori-speaking population became increasingly bilingual. We conclude that it was the arrival of English with its contrast between aspirated and unaspirated plosives, rather than direct borrowing, that was the trigger for the fronting of the hitherto stable back Māori /u/ vowel together with increased aspiration of /t/ before both /i/ and /u/.
