Abstract
This commentary discusses whether abstract metrical frames are stored. For stress-assisting languages (e.g., Dutch and English), which have a dominant stress pattern, metrical frames are stored only for words t hat deviate from the default stress pattern. The majority of the words in these languages are produced without retrieving any independent sy llabic or metrical frame.
