Description	Some languages restrict word-initial clusters to TR, while others also allow for RT, TT and RR. The former, TR-only languages, are represented by Romance and Germanic, while the latter, anything-goes languages, are typical for Czech. While TR-only languages instantiate words with all logically possible muta cum liquida clusters, anything-goes languages only implement a small minority of logically possible #RT, #TT and #RR clusters (while, like TR-only languages, providing for all #TR clusters). This talk proposes to test the prediction that really anything goes in anything-goes languages with the experimental technique of dichotic perception.
