The syllabic structure of English

The syllable may consist of the onset, the nucleus and the coda. The nucleus plus coda constitute the rhyme. There is no syllable without the nucleus, the presence of the onset and the coda depends on the phonotactic rules of a particular language: there are many languages which demand a consonant in the onset but in Japanese, for example, only one conso­nant is permitted, while in English there may be as many as three, while the Russian language allows of four consonants in that position: splash, straw, screen, but вздрогнуть, встрепенуться, всплеск.
