Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.

Diphthong Integrity Rule

Diphthongs (like 'ij') are treated as a single vowel sound and are not split across syllables.

Onset-Coda Rule

Consonants preceding the vowel (onset) and following the vowel (coda) are assigned to the syllable.

  • The compound nature of the word requires maintaining the syllabic structure of individual morphemes.
  • Dutch allows for consonant clusters as onsets and codas, influencing syllable division.
  • Stress patterns in compound words can deviate from the general penultimate stress rule.
