Sequences of affricates followed by homorganic fricatives are simplified to affricates in preconsonantal context in Polish. Similarly, geminates are reduced in this environment, which results from the fact that length distinction is not licensed in this position. Despite common motivation, the two types of reduction cannot be handled by the same rule. Unlike geminates, sequences of affricates and fricatives cannot undergo the process of degemination. However, the simplification is motivated by the phonetic adjacency of identical fricative portions, which leads to a conclusion that the rule belongs to the domain of phonetic implementation. Therefore, an Optimality Theoretic solution is aided by the theory of Articulatory Phonology, which can capture the phonetic facts of reduction processes.

The author presents an alternative phonological interpretation of Modern Polish nasal diphthongs and affricates that is based on the Axiomatic-Functionalist framework. The theory that could be briefly described as a formalization of André Martinet’s concepts was introduced by Jan W. F. Mulder in 1960’s and further developed in cooperation with Sándor G. J. Hervey. The main aim of the paper is focused on the so-called un ou deux phonèmes? problem, i.e. the problem how to phonologically interpret complex phonetic sounds such as affricates, diphthongs or triphthongs. The author argues that Polish nasal diphthongs and palatal and retroflex affricates should be analyzed monophonematically (as /ẽ/, /õ/ and /ć/, /ʒ́/, /č/, /ǯ/,respectively), while the adequate way to deal with Polish alveolar affricates is to interpret them as corresponding to the sequences of two phonemes: /Ts/ (an archiphoneme /T/, i.e. the product of the neutralization of voicing, + /s/ ) or /Tz/ (an archiphoneme /T/ + /z/).

This study is a part of a wider research of articulatory weakening (fricativization) of the voiceless affricates /ts/ and /t∫/ in contemporary Czech. The affricates were analysed in three respects: (a) auditorily, (b) articulatorily, with the use of electropalatography, and (c) acoustically. Auditorily, three perceptual categories were established: canonical, weakened and fricativized. The legitimacy of these categories was subsequently supported by acoustic measurements and articulatory data. The results show the relative stability of the intervocalic affricates, a strong tendency towards fricativization as a consequence of dissimilation processes, and furthermore, dependence on speaker and gender. A methodology of a complex analysis of affricate reduction was created.
