The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the influence of the tonal accent on the behavior of the voiceless consonants in certain consonantal positions. A syntagm may have an accent on its second member (ves' dén' ‘the whole day’), it may have a stress only on its first member (vés' den') or the both words may be stressed equally (vés' dén'). In the second and third cases it is possible to occur a voiceless consonant before the voiced one. The situation with ´the proposition-word combinations, with the composita end even with the prefixal words is similar. Based on the speech material the following rule can be formulated: by increasing the strength of the boundary the probability of a voiceless realisation of a voiceless consonant preceding a voiced one is decreased.
