Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Polish syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with onsets (consonants at the beginning) whenever possible.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
The rules aim to avoid creating syllables consisting of only a single vowel or consonant.
- Complex consonant clusters are common in Polish and are accommodated by the onset maximization rule.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a phonetic feature but doesn't affect syllable division.
