Juliette Waals
An Experimental View of the Dutch Syllable

This study provides a description of the syllable in Dutch from a
phonological and a phonetic point of view. The central hypothesis of
this thesis is the Metrical Segment Duration Hypothesis by which it is
assumed that the relative durations of segments are a reflection of
(phonological) syllable constituency.
   The thesis reports on a series of experiments which focus on the
durations of consonants and consonant clusters at the word-onset, the
word-coda and in intervocalic position. Phonological assumptions
concerning the hierarchical nature of word-onsets and word-codas, and
assumptions concerning the location of syllable breaks, are confirmed to
a considerable degree by the results of these experiments. However, the
durationally motivated hierarchies differ from the phonological
hierarchies. Also, language-specific phonological rules seem to be
phonetically overruled by universal principles.
