Badanie odczucia subiektywnego związanego z dzieleniem na sylaby wyrazów języka polskiego — podział grup złożonych ze spółgłosek właściwych

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an investigation of subjective feelings related to the syllabification of Polish words written in orthographic form. The results presented are limited to consonant clusters composed only of obstruents, located within words. In previous articles the author has shown that, despite the presence of numerous long consonant clustersin Polish, the process of syllabification may be based on phonological principles: the sonority principle and the principle of maximal onset. It was also shown that the phonological rules sometimes suggest different solutions than the morphological structure, particularly at boundaries between a prefix and a stem. The main goal of the present investigations was to verify whether the syllabification based on phonology differs from that based on subjective feelings. The article also refers to some statistical properties of consonant clusters, with the aim of verifying whether the main results presented here are related to those properties.
