Durational variability has been well documented for different languages. Word-final lengthening, word-initial lengthening, and polysyllabic shortening, all predict that segments neighbouring a word boundary will differ in their durations whatever direction such shortening or lengthening should take. In the present study, we obtained two Polish sequences brat Adama versus brata dama from 24 native speakers of Polish. The obtained results point to a complicated pattern of temporal variability caused by the boundary location in Polish.}, type={Article}, title={Brat adama vs brata dama: temporal phonetic parameters signalling word boundaries in Polish}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/131310/PDF-MASTER/7_LINGUISTICA_30_Rojczyk_Brat.pdf}, }
