Abstract
This paper presents a survey of the Polish stress system and explores the theoretical consequences of this system for a number of current issues in phonological theory: the notion ‘extrametricality’; grids versus trees, and principles of eurhythmicity. It is argued that the metrical grid is superior to the metrical tree for the description of stress patterns in Polish words and phrases. This analysis of Polish stress has also consequences for the typology of stress systems. Furthermore, the analysis of stress in Polish compounds substantiates the claim of current prosodic theory that phonological structure need not be isomorphic to morphological structure.
