The linguistics program at the University of Canterbury houses several large
corpora, including the ONZE corpus (Origins of New Zealand English). The
program is part of the New Zealand Institute of Language, Brain and behaviour,
and as such, presents substantial opportunities for multi-disciplinary research
(http://www.nzilbb.canterbury.ac.nz).

The PhD at the University of Canterbury is by thesis only, and potential
candidates should, in the first instance, make contact with a potential supervisor.
From January 2012, the available supervisors in the linguistics program will be
Lynn Clark, Jen Hay, Beth Hume, Heidi Quinn and Kevin Watson.
