Abstract

Abundant violations of the Sonority Sequencing Generalization in Polish are studied from the perspective of prosodic phonology. We argue that word-initial and non-word-initial extrasyllabic consonants play distinct roles in the operation of phonological rules. We further claim that they are integrated prosodically by linking to the phonological word node and that this is done at different stages of derivation. Transparency of extrasyllabic consonants is also investigated.
