The current study investigates the phonological factors that determine the location of word stress in Papuan Malay, an under-researched language spoken in East-Indonesia. The prosody of this language is poorly understood, in particular the use of word stress. The approach taken here is novel in that random forest analysis was used to assess which factors are most predictive for the location of stress in a Papuan Malay word. The random forest analysis was carried out with a set of 17 potential word stress predictors on a corpus of 1040 phonetically transcribed words. A complementary analysis of word stress distributions was done in order to derive a set of phonological criteria. Results show that with two phonological criteria the stress location for almost all words in the corpus could be explained.
