This study accounts for the acquisition of the consonant clusters of English syllable structures both in onset and coda positions by Persian EFL learners. Persian syllable structure is "CV(CC)", composed of one consonant at the initial position and two optional consonants at the final position; whereas English syllable structure is "(CCC)V(CCCC)".

This work represents from local earthquakes in study are to evaluate the further our understanding knowledge concerning the an intensive study of coda waves California. The goals of this ability of coda wave analysis to of the earth, and to augment our generation of the coda itself. The methods used here are the simple extensions of single station coda wave techniques used by many workers (e.g....
