Tiivistelmä
This bachelor’s thesis is a brief look into the Maori word kiwi and how it is used in modern New Zealand English regarding the two senses it has. These two senses are of a small bird native to New Zealand and a New Zealander. The area of study is similar with Alexander Onysko and Andreea Calude’s 2014 study of Maori words Maori, Pakeha and Kiwi but with a smaller scope, data set and a different focus. The thesis is a corpus study conducted using The New Zealand component of the International Corpus of English (ICE-NZ) and The Wellington Corpus. The findings in the thesis indicate a significantly stronger presence of the New Zealander sense. There is a distortion in the ICE-NZ data which makes one sense appear more common than it is, but this is accounted for in the thesis.
