4. Syllables List with IPA and Rule Explanations:

• con- /kon/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables generally end in a vowel.

• mos /mos/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant clusters are generally broken after vowels, creating a syllable boundary.

5. Syllable Division Rule Explanations:

• The primary rule applied is that syllables generally end in a vowel. This is the dominant pattern in Spanish.
• When a consonant is followed by a vowel, a syllable break occurs before the vowel.
• The stress rule dictates that stress falls on the penultimate syllable in this case, as the word ends in a vowel.

6. Potential Exceptions/Special Cases (per syllable):

• The 'f' in 'fe-' doesn't create a complex onset, so the syllable division is straightforward.
• The 'd' in 'de-' doesn't create a complex onset, so the syllable division is straightforward.
• The 'r' in 'ra-' doesn't create a complex onset, so the syllable division is straightforward.
• The 'r' in 'ri-' doesn't create a complex onset, so the syllable division is straightforward.

7. Exceptions/Special Cases (word-level):

• The word follows standard Spanish syllabification rules without any significant exceptions.

8. Syllabification and Parts of Speech:

• "Confederar" (to confederate) is the infinitive form. The syllabification remains the same.
• If used in a different conjugation (e.g., "confederamos" - we confederate), the syllabification remains the same, but the stress might shift depending on the conjugation.

9. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: confederariamos
• Part of Speech: Verb (1st person plural conditional)
• Definitions:
  • "We would confederate"
  • "We would form an alliance"
• Translation: We would confederate.
• Synonyms: aliaríamos, asociaríamos
• Antonyms: desuniríamos, separaríamos
• Examples:
  • "Si tuviéramos la oportunidad, confederariamos con otros países para lograr la paz." (If we had the opportunity, we would confederate with other countries to achieve peace.)

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

• In some regions of Spain, the 'd' between vowels might be pronounced as a softer, almost silent sound. This doesn't affect the syllable division, but it can alter the phonetic realization.
• In some Latin American dialects, the 'r' might be tapped or trilled differently, but this doesn't change the syllable structure.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• hablaríamos: ha-bla-rí-a-mos. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• cantaríamos: can-ta-rí-a-mos. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• viajaríamos: via-ja-rí-a-mos. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• The consistency in these examples demonstrates the regular application of Spanish syllabification rules. The presence of the "-íamos" ending consistently creates a similar syllable pattern and stress placement. The differences lie in the initial consonant clusters or vowel sequences, which are handled according to the standard vowel-based syllable division.
