Abstract
In three experiments, it is investigated to what extent naive listeners agree in ranking the stress of syllables in Dutch words. Four factors influencing the scores are isolated: the position of the primary stress, the awareness of rhythmic patterns, a tendency to assign prominence to the initial syllable and a segmental factor which disallows prominence on syllables with schwa. As these factors oppose or strengthen each other, they explain fluctuations in the subjects’ agreement.
