Vowel-based division

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.

Consonant cluster rule

Consonant clusters are kept together unless they can be easily separated phonetically, as in 'tr' and 'ci'.

Prefix/Suffix rule

Prefixes ('contre-') and suffixes ('-tions') often form separate syllables.

  • The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of the boundaries between the prefix and the root.
  • The nasal vowels /ɔ̃/ and /ɛ̃/ influence the syllabic structure and pronunciation.
  • Potential elision of 'contre-' to 'cont'' before a vowel does not affect the syllabification.
