In her study published in this journal, Newlin-Łukowicz (2012) calls into question the existence of bidirectional stress systems. The argument hinges on the failure to detect acoustic correlates of word-internal subsidiary stress in Polish, the language hitherto considered to be a classic example of metrical bidirectionality. This paper reappraises the issue, reporting on an acoustic study of paired five- and six-syllable words in Polish (e.g. ˎpomido′rowy – ˎpomiˎdoro-′wego). The results indicate that the words differ significantly with respect to relative consonant duration (PVI values) in the onset of the third syllable, depending on whether the syllable bears subsidiary stress (as in six-syllable words) or remains unstressed (as in five-syllable words). Similar effects are reported in the initial syllable, but not in the second syllable, which remains consistently unstressed. The conclusion is that Polish has iterative stress, corroborating its traditional description as having a bidirectional stress system.

迭代重音系统的语音证据：辅音节奏问题

Newlin-Łukowicz (2012) 在本期刊上发表的研究中对双向应力系统的存在提出了质疑。该论点取决于未能检测到波兰语中单词内部辅助重音的声学相关性，该语言迄今为止被认为是韵律双向性的经典例子。本文重新评估了这个问题，报告了对波兰语中成对的五音节和六音节词的声学研究（例如ˎpomido′rowy–ˎpomiˎdoro-'我们去）。结果表明，这些词在第三个音节开头的相对辅音持续时间（PVI 值）方面存在显着差异，这取决于音节是否承受副重音（如六音节词）或保持非重读（如五音节）。音节词）。首个音节报告了类似的效果，但在第二个音节中没有报告，第二个音节始终没有重读。结论是波兰语具有迭代应力，证实了其传统描述为具有双向应力系统。
