3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: dé- (Latin dē-) - Function: Reversal, negation.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/de.ʁe.ɡlœ.mɑ̃.ta.sjɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "gl" is a common feature in French and is generally treated as a single unit within a syllable. The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ presents no particular syllabification challenge.

7. Grammatical Role:

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Antonyms: réglementation, contrôle
• Examples:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• régulation: /ʁe.ɡy.la.sjɔ̃/ - Syllable division: ré-gu-la-tion. Similar structure, demonstrating the consistent treatment of "rég-" and "-tion".
• organisation: /ɔʁ.ɡa.ni.za.sjɔ̃/ - Syllable division: or-ga-ni-sa-tion. Similar ending "-tion", and vowel-consonant patterns.
• information: /ɛ̃.fɔʁ.ma.sjɔ̃/ - Syllable division: in-for-ma-tion. Again, the "-tion" ending is consistent. The initial consonant cluster "in-" is treated similarly to "dé-" in "déréglementation".

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Preservation: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The prefix "dé-" can sometimes lead to elision (dropping of the vowel) in rapid speech, but this doesn't affect the underlying syllabification.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as given above, some regional variations might exist in the articulation of nasal vowels, but these do not alter the syllable structure.
