This paper aims to grasp the actual problems of sC clusters in the syllable theory and to find the right approach to them. Generally, sC clusters are considered as consonant clusters with /s/ plus voiceless stop which may or may not be followed by a liquid or a glide. As a result of careful examinations, the following findings appear: (1)The Core Syllable Branching is the optimal syllabic template. N'' constitutes the syllable node which branches off to its left as the Onset. The intermediate projection, N', constitutes the Rime node, branching off to its right as the Coda. (2)The /s/ seems to have greater liberty than other consonants in clusters. In Onset, /s/ is the only segment that violates Sonority Sequencing Generalization and Minimal Sonorant Distance. Thus, it will be the best solution to treat /s/ in sC clusters as Extrametrical, which is the peripheral segment from the core syllable. This paper distinguishes Extrmetrical from Appendix which is limited to the morphological suffixes. For example, texts /teksts/ will be analysed as the permissible Rime /ek/ followed by Extrametrical /st/ followed by Appendix /s/. (3)The medial sC cluster can be syllabified as /V.sCV/, /Vs.CV/, /VsC.V/. The correct syllabification will be derived according to some combination of three principles: Maximal Onset Principle(MOP), Stress Attraction Principle(SAP), and Ambisyllabicity Principle(AmP). Words such as ‘Boston’ will be syllabified /bɔ.stən/ by MOP, /bɔst.ən/ by SAP, and /bɔst.tən/ by AmP. Thus, the optimal syllabification is /Vs.CV/.
