There is no diagnostic test dedicated to examining the realisation of consonant clusters in a speech therapy. At the same time, articulation of consonant compounds is one of the criteria for classifying articulation according to styles. The undertaken research is an attempt to answer the question: What is the relationship between the method of examining articulation and realization of consonant clusters? The diagnostic tests discussed in this paper include reading out single lexemes, repeating words, speaking spontaneously, and reading out a continuous text passage. The study sample was composed of persons with no articulatory disorders, whose articulation had already been formed. The specific questions asked in the course of the research concerned the following issue: What are the qualitative and quantitative differences in consonant cluster realisation in the individual diagnostic tests? The study was supposed to determine diagnostic options with respect to consonant compound articulation.
