If it's possible, rather than occurring, English syllables you want, you might look at diagrams for possible monosyllables, as in Zellig Harris, Methods in Structural Linguistics, U. Chicago Press, 195?. Stressed syllables in polysyllables are a subset of those in monosyllables. Unstressed syllables are a subset of stressed syllables, unless you take the consonantal nuclei in rubber, rubble, ribbon, rub'm to be distinct from the nuclei of brr, bull, bun, bum. Such diagrams are approximations, since the number of phonemes and especially the number of possible combinations into syllables differs somewhat among dialects and individuals. They usually admit hundreds of pronounceable but very peculiar syllables like trart, klilk, kwuw, smamp, oyj, awb. David (stampe@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu)
