  Word stress in Dutch is a right-to-left quantity-sensitive process. The principle generalization is: when the final syllable is open, main stress is on the prefinal (open or closed) syllable; when the final syllable is closed, main stress is on the prefinal syllable if it is closed and on the antepenultimate otherwise. For superheavy syllables, which occur (very nearly without exception) in word-final position only, the regular stress pattern is final main stress. (Trommelen & Zonneveld forthc.)
