‘complex’ cluster organization that is claimed to govern the syllabic affiliation of consonants found in clusters (see e.g. The most notable methodology used in this research is electromagnetic articulography (EMA), which has been employed to test hypotheses about ‘simplex’ vs. The goal of this research is to relate the phonetics of consonant clusters to phonological assumptions about syllable structure. Reference Hermes, Mücke and Auris2017 Pastätter & Pouplier Reference Pastätter and Pouplier2017), which has been aimed at quantifying the extent to which consonants in a cluster are pronounced synchronously, as well as their degree of phonetic coordination with neighboring vowels.

Browman & Goldstein Reference Browman and Goldstein1989 Goldstein et al. Another approach found in the literature is an articulatory perspective on cluster phonotactics (e.g. Reference Daland, Hayes, White, Garellek, Davis and Norman2011). This research is quite copious, and aims at uncovering language users’ subconscious knowledge about phonotactic constraints or preferences, while spanning a wide range of research paradigms, such as acceptability studies (Albright Reference Albright2007), surveys of typology and frequency (Blevins Reference Blevins and Goldsmith1995), loanword adaptation (Kang Reference Kang, van Oostendorp, Ewen, Hume and Rice2011), language acquisition (Jarosz Reference Jarosz2017), and computer simulation (Hayes & Wilson Reference Hayes and Wilson2008 Daland et al. A common goal underlying what might be called a phonological approach to phonotactics is to establish and investigate the effects of the ‘goodness’ or ‘markedness’ of clusters, usually characterized in terms of sonority sequencing (Hooper Reference Hooper1976 Selkirk Reference Selkirk1984 Clements Reference Clements, Kingston and Beckman1990 Blevins Reference Blevins and Goldsmith1995 Parker Reference Parker2002), or other comparison of features (Dziubalska-Kołaczyk Reference Dziubalska-Kołaczyk2014 Orzechowska Reference Orzechowska2019). Much of the research in the area of consonant cluster phonotactics may be grouped into two basic categories deriving from the theoretical priorities of the researchers. The results suggest cross-language interaction by which Polish listeners equate L1 unaffricated clusters with L2 CəC-initial words, in accordance with the OP proposal. For L1 Polish listeners, the lack of affrication facilitated cluster identification, while the CəC-initial words induced the slowed responses. For L1 English listeners, the unaffricated cluster-initial items induced the slowest responses. Two groups of listeners performed a two-alternative forced choice identification task on stimuli that included affricated clusters, unaffricated clusters, affricates, and CəC-initial words. One predicts synchronous cluster articulation in English, giving rise to affrication, while the other predicts asynchronous cluster articulation in Polish. OP offers two distinct structural configurations for representing rising sonority onset clusters. The goal was to test phonological predictions formulated within the Onset Prominence (OP) framework. This paper describes a perception experiment with L1 Polish and L1 English listeners on the affrication of initial English /tr/ and /dr/ (TR) consonant clusters.
