As a result, the loanwords borrowed from other languages which have complex onsets, when introduced into Persian, are adapted to fit the syllable structure of the target language. In Persian, consonant clusters are avoided in onset position. The present paper examines the process of loanword syllable adaptation in tetrasyllabic words in Persian, within an Optimality-theoretic framework. keywords: affricate consonant, cluster, sequence, The sonority sequencing principle (SSP). c) All the violations of the SSP in clusters in the simplex words are related to the loan words. Also, the violation of the SSP in the cluster is 18% and in the sequence 26%. b) The frequency of negative sonority scope in the cluster is 82% and in the sequence 74%. The results indicate that: a) The affricates frequency as a second member in the cluster is 5.7 times more than that of the first member and in the sequence is 2.3 times more than the first member. In order to answer this question, 15446 compound and derivative-compound words for sequence and 14336 simplex words for cluster have been collected from Farsi dictionaries and the phonological information related to each word is extracted. The sonority factor not only restricts the ordering of phonological units at the syllable level, but also influences the word domain and determining the type of sequences present at the boundary of syllables The purpose of this study is to investigate the rate of violation of affricates clusters and sequences from the sonority sequencing principle. Traditionally it is thought that the organization of components in a syllable and between syllables follows the sonority principles.
