Polish phonology: integrating past accounts into a contemporary model

 

címmel, amelyre tisztelettel meghívjuk.

Az előadás kivonata:

The talk is a discussion of some of the problems I am encountering in preparing a book-length account of the phonology of contemporary Polish for the Phonology of the World's Languages series. An enterprise of this sort should simultaneously take stock of past research and also to pave way for new interpretations. Adopting a model which is in the making and which consequently is subject to considerable theoretical fluctuations creates major hurdles for the descriptive aspect of the work. Bypassing controversial theoretical issues on the other hand lands us in the safe haven of models which few active phonologists would take seriously today. The necessary middle road is likely to be frowned upon by everybody. The issues that I find both most pertinent and most controversial include ways of describing phonotactic constraints (the notorious Polish consonantal clusters) and the interconnections between phonology and morphophonology.
