Adjunct Fellows

Assistant Professor Simon Todd

Simon Todd (Ngāi Tahu) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California Santa Barbara, where he directs the Computational Psycholinguistics of Listening and Speaking (CPLS) Lab. He is a computational psycholinguist with a focus on speech perception. A central theme in his work is the way that small-scale cognitive processes associated with in-the-moment listening can have large-scale, long-term implications for linguistic knowledge and behavior. He also has interests in interactions between phonetics/phonology and morphological and syntactic structure, which he and others at NZILBB are currently exploring in te reo Māori.

Dr. Todd is a UC alumnus who has been affiliated with NZILBB in multiple roles since its inception, from student, to research assistant, to postdoctoral fellow, and now collaborating researcher. He visits NZILBB annually.

Emeritus Professor Janet Holmes

Janet Holmes is Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at Victoria University of Wellington. She is Associate Director of the Language in the Workplace Project (LWP) and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. She has published extensively in the area of sociolinguistics on topics which include language and gender, sexist language, New Zealand English, pragmatic particles, and many aspects of workplace discourse.  Her books include the 6th edition of the Introduction to Sociolinguistics, Gendered Talk at Work, and, with her LWP associates, Leadership, Discourse, and Ethnicity. The research team is currently investigating the discourse of mobile workplaces. She looks forward to a fruitful association with the many colleagues at NZILBB with whom she has been in contact for many years.

Dr Bernadette Vine

Bernadette Vine is Senior Researcher and Corpus Manager for the Wellington Language in the Workplace Project. Her research interests include workplace communication, leadership and New Zealand English.
