| Description | The paper deals with the so-called un ou deux phonemes? problem in Modern Polish. The framework adopted by the author is the theory and methodology of Axiomatic Functionalism, i.e. a functional semiotic approach developed by Jan W. F. Mulder in association with Sándor G. J. Hervey that is mainly based on linguistic ideas of André Martinet. The analysis focuses on phonological interpretation of Polish nasal diphthongs and affricates. The author argues that nasal diphthongs and palatal and retroflex affricates should be interpreted monophonematically, while it is both adequate and economical to interpret alveolar affricates as realizations of sequences of two separate phonemes. |
