摘要：This paper is based on the article Dentals before affricates: are they pronounced or not? by Dalibor Brozović (1972/1973). The authors are referring to this question from the orthoepic point of view. The basis for their research are Brozović's categories of consonant clusters within words: clusters of a dental and an affricate on the boundary between prefixandradix (prefixed groups), radix and suffix(suffixed groups) and phonemic alternations during morphological changes (alternation groups). The authors also present a new, fourth category, a cluster of a dental and an affricate on the boundary between two words (phonetic changes). Twenty students of the Croatian language and literature at the Faculty of Philosophy in Split pronounced words which contained these consonant clusters.
