Stem stress and peak correspondence in Dutch

It is a well-known observation that morphologically complex words ‘inherit’ phonological properties of their stems. Famous examples involve transderivational preservation of stress, which is involved in the analysis of secondary stress in English (Chomsky & Halle 1968), syncope in Palestinian Arabic (Brame 1974) and diphthongization in Spanish (Harris 1983). This paper will deal with the preservation of stem stress in Dutch complex words.
