Hyphenation ofdémissionnerions

Linguistic Analysis of "démissionnerions" (French)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "démissionnerions" is the conditional present of the verb "démissionner" (to resign). It's a relatively complex word due to its length and inflectional morphology. 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 de- meaning 'down from', 'away from'). Function: Prefix indicating reversal or separation.
• Root: mission- (Latin missio meaning 'sending, act of sending'). Function: Root denoting the core meaning related to sending or relinquishing.
• Suffix: -ner- (French verbal suffix, from Latin -nare). Function: Forms the infinitive.
• Suffix: -ions (French conditional ending, 1st person plural). Function: Indicates conditional mood, 1st person plural.

4. Stress Identification:

In French, stress generally falls on the last syllable of a phrase or breath group. However, within a word, the stress is often subtle and more related to rhythmic prominence. In this case, the final syllable "-ions" receives the primary stress.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/de.mi.sjo.ne.ʁjɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The "sion" ending can sometimes be pronounced /sjɔ̃/ or /sjø̃/. The pronunciation /sjø̃/ is more common in standard French. The liaison between the 'n' of 'missionner' and the 'i' of 'ions' is possible but not obligatory.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form (conditional present, 1st person plural). Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To resign, to step down from a position.
• Translation: We would resign.
• Grammatical Category: Verb (Conditional Present, 1st person plural)
• Synonyms: démissionnerait (conditional), quitter (to leave), renoncer (to renounce)
• Antonyms: rester (to stay), conserver (to keep)
• Examples: "Nous démissionnerions si les conditions de travail ne s'amélioraient pas." (We would resign if the working conditions did not improve.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• abandonnerions: a-ban-don-ne-ri-ons. Similar structure with a verb + infinitive suffix. Stress on the final syllable.
• mentionnerions: men-tion-ne-ri-ons. Similar structure, stress on the final syllable.
• commissionnerions: com-mis-sio-nne-ri-ons. Longer, but follows the same pattern of vowel-based syllabification and final syllable stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel are generally open (e.g., dé-, mi-).
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex (e.g., sion-).
• Rule 3: Vowel Sequences: Vowel sequences are usually divided into separate syllables (e.g., ne-ri-).
• Rule 4: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "-ions" requires careful pronunciation. The potential for liaison needs to be considered in connected speech.
