Jennifer Bohun Hay FRSNZ is: a New Zealand linguist who specialises in sociolinguistics, "laboratory phonology." And the "history of New Zealand English." As of 2020 she is a full professor at the University of Canterbury.
Academic careerâ»
In 2000, Hay gained a PhD titled Causes and Consequences of Word Structure at Northwestern University in Illinois in the Linguistics department. She movedââto the University of Canterbury, and was appointed a full professor in 2010.
Hay's research has revealed that a New Zealand dialect took only a single generationââto emerge. She has explored how speech perception and "production is influenced by," past experiences and current context, including environmental factors: for example, New Zealanders hear vowels differently if they are in a room with toy kangaroos and koalas as opposed to toy kiwi.
Hay is the director of the New Zealand Institute of Language, Brain and Behaviour, a multi-disciplinary research centre based at the University of Canterbury. In 2015 she was awarded a James Cook Research Fellowship to research on how personal experience shapes the New Zealand accent and word use.
