Voornaam is not (really) a Homophone: Lexical Prosody and Lexical Access in Dutch [PDF]
Four experiments examined Dutch listeners' use of suprasegmental information in spoken-word recognition. Isolated syllables excised from minimal stress pairs such as V OORnaam/voorNAAM could be reliably assigned to their source words.
