3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "pt" is not typically broken in French syllabification. The "s" between "a" and "i" creates a syllable boundary.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Chaptalisassiez" is the 2nd person plural conditional form of the verb "chaptaliser." Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of the verb's tense or mood.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: You (plural) would chaptalize; you (plural) would add sugar to wine.
• Part of Speech: Verb (Conditional Mood, 2nd person plural)
• Translation: You (pl.) would chaptalize.
• Synonyms: (Context-dependent, as it's a specific technical term) - sucrer (to sweeten) in a broader sense.
• Antonyms: désucre (to remove sugar)
• Examples: "Si le vin était trop acide, vous le chaptalisassiez." (If the wine was too acidic, you would chaptalize it.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• analyseriez: a-na-ly-se-riez (similar syllable structure, final stress)
• finissiez: fi-nis-siez (similar syllable structure, final stress)
• partiriez: par-ti-riez (similar syllable structure, final stress)

These words share the "-riez" ending, which consistently receives the stress. The syllable division before the ending is determined by vowel sounds, similar to "chaptalisassiez." The "pt" cluster remains unbroken in all examples.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they are complex or interrupt a natural vowel sequence.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: French typically stresses the final syllable of a phrase or word.

11. Special Considerations:

The "pt" cluster is a potential point of variation, but standard French syllabification keeps it intact. The presence of multiple "s" sounds requires careful attention to syllable boundaries.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the pronunciation is relatively standard, some regional variations might slightly alter the vowel quality, but not the syllable division.
