Prosody of NZ English

The Soul Shall Not Bend song captures one of our little quirks, which is the rising upwards inflection that most Kiwis end sentences with. Yes, valley girls do it too, but it's a longstanding NZ English thing. That's more of a parody, though, while Hannah did that so often in the dialogue scenes that I tried to get my brother to digitally alter some via pitch-shifting. That was before Twin Peaks S3, which really did use that technique for the evil Cooper.
