3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: None
• Root: "conteneur" (container) - Derived from the verb "contenir" (to contain), ultimately from Latin continere.

6. Edge Case Review:

The sequence "neur" presents a potential challenge, but in French, "neur" is generally treated as a single syllable unit, especially when followed by a vowel. The "en" is a nasal vowel, which influences the syllable structure.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Conteneurisation" is primarily a noun, referring to the process of containerization. It doesn't significantly shift in syllabification if used in a different grammatical context (e.g., as part of a compound noun).

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The process of converting goods to standard container sizes for more efficient transport.
• Translation: Containerization
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine)
• Synonyms: None readily available, as it's a relatively specific term.
• Antonyms: Decontainerisation (though less common)
• Examples:
  • "La conteneurisation a révolutionné le transport maritime." (Containerization has revolutionized maritime transport.)
  • "Les coûts de la conteneurisation ont diminué." (The costs of containerization have decreased.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• organisation: o-rga-ni-sa-tion. Similar syllable structure, with a suffix "-tion". Stress also on the final syllable.
• nationalisation: na-tio-na-li-sa-tion. Again, "-tion" suffix, final syllable stress.
• autorisation: au-to-ri-sa-tion. Similar pattern, demonstrating the consistent application of syllabification rules with the "-tion" suffix.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: French typically stresses the final syllable.
• Rule 4: Nasal Vowel Syllabification: Nasal vowels (like "en" in "conteneur") often form the nucleus of a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "en" in "conteneur" is a nasal vowel, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity in syllabification. However, in this case, it's treated as part of the first syllable due to the following consonant cluster.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the pronunciation is relatively standard, some regional variations might exist in the articulation of the "r" sound. However, these variations do not affect the syllable division.
