Extract

Algorithms for the assignment of main word stress in Dutch have never been systematically tested against foot-based segmental processes. The assumption has apparently been that such processes do not exist. In this article, it is suggested that Dutch has at least four segmental rules that make reference to the foot, and that Dutch has a chanted intonation contour whose realization is governed by foot structure. The evidence provided by all these processes largely confirms the more recent proposals for Dutch foot structure, including Kager (1989) and Trommelen & Zonneveld (1989), except where they fail to conform to (1).
