The word "déconditionnions" is a conjugated form of the verb "déconditionner" (to decondition). It's the first-person plural imperfect subjunctive. Pronunciation involves nasal vowels and liaison possibilities.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: dé- (Latin origin, meaning 'removal', 'reversal'). Function: Negation or reversal of the action of the verb.
• Root: conditionn- (from condition, ultimately from Latin conditio meaning 'condition, agreement'). Function: Core meaning relating to state or circumstance.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/de.kɔ̃.di.sjɔ.njɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The presence of nasal vowels (/ɔ̃/, /ɔ̃/) and the consonant cluster /sj/ require careful consideration. French syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant at the beginning of a syllable, which influences the division around /sj/.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• conditionner: /kɔ̃.di.sjɔ.ne/ - Syllable division: con-di-tion-ner. Similar structure, but with a different ending.
• déconditionné: /de.kɔ̃.di.sjɔ.ne/ - Syllable division: dé-con-di-tion-né. Similar, with the addition of the past participle ending.
• redéconditionner: /ʁe.de.kɔ̃.di.sjɔ.ne/ - Syllable division: re-dé-con-di-tion-ner. Demonstrates how prefixes are separated.

The syllable division in all these words follows the same principles: vowels form syllable nuclei, and consonant clusters are maintained where possible. The length of the word and the addition of suffixes/prefixes affect the number of syllables, but not the underlying principles.
