Abstract
Alphabetic writing systems vary considerably as to their use of higher-order linguistic principles at the morphological and syntactic levels in spelling. This use of higher-order principles adds to the complexity of the orthography, which is not just related to phonology. As discussed in this chapter, Dutch orthography is characterized most distinctly by its specific use of analogy rules in polymorphemic words. The analysis that we will present here further elaborates and extends the work reported in empirical studies published by Verhoeven (1979), Assink (1987a), and Assink, Van der Linden, and Kattenberg (1990). The first study is central for sections 2–3, while the other studies form the basis of sections 4–9.
