8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act or process of removing nasalization from sounds or words.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine)
• Translation: Denasalizations
• Synonyms: (rarely used, as it's a technical term) - dénasalisation (the process itself)
• Antonyms: Nasalisation
• Examples:
  • "L'étude des dénasalisations en français est complexe." (The study of denasalizations in French is complex.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• nationalisations: na-tio-na-li-sa-ti-ons. Similar structure, stress on the final syllable.
• organisations: o-rga-ni-sa-ti-ons. Similar structure, stress on the final syllable.
• visualisations: vi-sua-li-sa-ti-ons. Similar structure, stress on the final syllable.

The consistent stress on the final syllable and the syllabification around vowel sounds demonstrate the regularity of French phonology. The presence of the "-sions" suffix consistently dictates the final stressed syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Syllabification: French syllables are generally built around vowel sounds. Each vowel (and vowel digraph) typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or interrupt a natural vowel sequence.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: French typically stresses the final syllable of a word.

11. Special Considerations:

The schwa sound /ə̃/ in the final syllable is a common feature of French and doesn't affect the syllabification process. The "nas" cluster is not broken up, as it's a permissible consonant sequence in French.
