<p>Hi Adam, all,</p>
<p>In a couple of recent publications on Riau Indonesian (below), I
argue, inter alia, that although there is no word-level stress,
there is actually lots of other phonological stuff going on,
providing strong support for the existence of a disyllabic foot.
So essentially the opposite of what you are looking for.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>David</p>
