Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Polish prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'prze' and 'ście'.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left as single-consonant syllable onsets unless absolutely necessary.
Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are primarily divided around vowels, creating open syllables where possible.
Consonant Clusters
Complex consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority and phonotactic constraints.
- The 'rz' cluster is treated as a single phoneme.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables can occur, potentially affecting the perceived length of syllables, but not the syllabification itself.
