Sources of Phonotactic Complexity in Polish

Sequences of consonants in Polish are certainly among the most remarkable ones reported in the subject literature. Their complexity is a function of several factors such as the number of constituent consonants, phonological structure or morphological composition. This chapter provides a synchronic description restrictions which determine a linear arrangement of consonants in such clusters at syllable and word edges. Phonotactic constraints proposed for Polish range from descriptive statements on possible and impossible sequences, via theory-oriented well-formedness conditions to mathematical models of computation. Each approach operates on different linguistic units and accounts for a different fragment of phonotactics.
