Prosodic influences on consonant production in Dutch: Effects of prosodic boundaries, phrasal accent and lexical stress [PDF]
Journal of Phonetics, 2005 Prosodic influences on phonetic realizations of four Dutch consonants (/t d s z/) were examined. Sentences were constructed containing these consonants in word-initial position; the factors lexical stress, phrasal accent and prosodic boundary were manipulated between sentences. Eleven Dutch speakers read these sentences aloud.

Difficulties with consonants in the spelling and segmentation of CCVCC pseudowords: Differences among Dutch first graders [PDF]
Reading and Writing, 1997 The goal of the present study was to explore the errors made by Dutch first graders in spelling syllable-initial and syllable-final consonants clusters in CCVCC pseudowords, to look for error types that discriminate poorer spellers from better spellers, and to relate these error types to the errors made when segmenting the same words.

Dutch Listeners' Perception of Korean Stop Consonants
Phonetics and Speech Sciences, 2015 We explored Dutch listeners` perception of Korean three-way contrast of fortis, lenis, and aspirated stops. The three Korean stops are all voiceless word-initially, whereas Dutch distinguishes between voiced and voiceless stops, so Korean voiceless stops were expected to be difficult for the Dutch listeners.

Perceptual adjustment to time-compressed Speech: a cross-linguistic study [PDF]
, 1998 revious research has shown that, when hearers listen to artificially speeded speech, their performance improves over the course of 10-15 sentences, as if their perceptual system was "adapting" to these fast rates of speech.
