Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to test whether the Simple Syllable Structure (SSS) proposed by Duanmu (1990:[2]) is true of English onsets or not.If the SSS holds for English onset, English onglides should be secondary articulations on the onset consonant rather than separate sounds.We will test this by measuring the duration of the initial consonant -glide combination, to determine whether it is as long as two sounds or as one sound.If the consonant -glide combination is as short as one consonant, we can say that glides are secondary articulations supporting a simpler syllable structure hypothesis (Duanmu 1990:[2], Kim 1997:[6]) for English onsets.
