In phonological literature three claims are made about vocalic quantity in Czech: (1) it is not subject to any positional restriction, (2) long vowels are not possible before certain consonant clusters, and (3) within a word any syllable may contain a long vowel. By confronting them with the data from the Phonological Lexical Corpus of Czech (containing 257,962 phonological words), it is shown that the first hypothesis must rejected in its strong form, that there is no support for the second one, and that the third one must be rejected altogether.
