Abstract:
It is argued from typological and perceptual evidence that
the constraint against geminates (*Gem) should be split
into constraints that incorporate contextual information
(word position & adjacent segments). It is shown that splitting
*Gem accurately captures the distribution and conspiratorial
behavior of geminates in Polish.
