The paper analyzes the views of New Zealand and British researchers on the national and cultural specificity of New Zealand English in different periods of its formation. It has been shown that the dialects and accents of the language brought by speakers of English from the most part of England, Scotland, Ireland and Australia led to the development of a new and distinctive form of English in New Zealand.
