As for voicing, the behaviour of voicing assimilation in Dutch is covered while its application in German is examined with an eye to its im- plications for the stratification of the German lexicon.

In Section 1, different syllable structure theories, as well as possible re- lations between segment structure and syllabic structure, and evidence from aphasiaareexamined.ThesectionstartswithanarticlebyHeatherGoadand Kathleen Brannen (‘Phonetic evidence for phonological structure in syllabi- fication’), which looks at the status of syllable structure from the perspective of language acquisition, presenting evidence for the position that word-final consonants are syllabified as onsets, not codas, in the first stages. Dirk-Bart denOudenandRoelienBastiaanse(‘Syllablestructureatdifferentlevelsinthe speechproductionprocess:Evidencefromaphasia’)looksatthephoneticsand phonologyofsyllablestructureinaphasicpatients,andshowsthatphonologi- calstructuresplayaroleintheearlyplanningofutterances.Thearticleinthis section by Shosuke Haraguchi shows that the orderof segmentsneed not be stipulatedinthephonologicalrepresentationforanumberoflexicalitemsin Japanese and English, given a sufficientlyrichly articulated theory of syllable structure.Finally,KrisztinaPolgárdi(‘HungarianasastrictCVlanguage’)ex- plores the abstractness of underlying representationsin arguing that syllable structureinHungarianisstrictlyCVunderlyingly,anecessarymovetoexplain surfacegeneralizations. Metrical structure is examined in papers on foot structure, and, exper- imentally, on word stress in Indonesian. First, Heli Harrikari (‘Quantity- sensitivity of syllabic trochees revisited: The case of dialectal gemination in Finnish’) examines the claim that syllabic troches are typically quantity- insensitive against the background of segmental processes in various dialects ofFinnish.Alsowithregardtostress,EllenvanZanten,RobGoedemansand
