Hyphenation ofdésynchronisées

Linguistic Analysis of "désynchronisées" (French)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "désynchronisées" is a feminine plural adjective meaning "desynchronized." It's derived from the verb "synchroniser" (to synchronize) with a negative prefix and a feminine plural ending. 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 pronounceable as separate syllables, the division is as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: dés- (Latin dis- meaning "apart, not"). Function: negation.
• Root: synchron- (Greek syn- "together" + chronos "time"). Function: core meaning of synchronization.
• Suffix: -isées (feminine plural past participle ending, derived from é (past participle marker) + -s (plural marker) + -es (feminine marker)). Function: indicates gender, number, and past participle form.

4. Stress Identification:

In French, stress typically falls on the last syllable of a phrase or a word when it is isolated. In this case, the last syllable "-sées" receives the primary stress.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/de.z‿ɛ̃.kʁɔ.ni.ze/ (Note: the liaison between dés- and synchronisées is represented by the '‿' symbol. The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ is present in synchronisées.)

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "chr" is treated as a single unit for syllabification, as it's a common and pronounceable sequence in French. The liaison between dés- and synchronisées is a common feature of French phonology and affects the pronunciation of the first syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Désynchronisées" primarily functions as an adjective. If used as a past participle in a compound tense (e.g., elles sont désynchronisées - they are desynchronized), the stress pattern remains the same.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Not synchronized; out of step.
• Translation: Desynchronized
• Grammatical Category: Adjective (feminine plural)
• Synonyms: désaccordées, asynchrones
• Antonyms: synchronisées, coordonnées
• Examples:
  • "Les horloges étaient désynchronisées." (The clocks were desynchronized.)
  • "Les équipes désynchronisées ont perdu le match." (The desynchronized teams lost the match.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• Synchronisation: /sɛ̃.kʁɔ.ni.za.sjɔ̃/ - Syllables: syn-chro-ni-sa-tion. Similar structure, but with a different ending.
• Désynchronisation: /de.z‿ɛ̃.kʁɔ.ni.za.sjɔ̃/ - Syllables: dés-syn-chro-ni-sa-tion. The addition of the prefix dés- adds an initial syllable.
• Synchronisées: /sɛ̃.kʁɔ.ni.ze/ - Syllables: syn-chro-ni-sées. Similar to the target word, but without the prefix. The final syllable is the same.

The syllable division consistently follows the vowel-centric rule, with consonant clusters remaining intact unless they naturally separate into pronounceable units.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Preservation: Consonant clusters are maintained as single syllables unless they can be naturally divided based on pronunciation.
• Rule 3: Liaison: Liaison between words or morphemes can affect the pronunciation and syllabification of the initial syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in "synchronisées" is a key feature of French phonology and influences the syllabification. The liaison between "dés-" and "synchronisées" is a common phenomenon that needs to be considered.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as described above, some regional variations might exist in the realization of nasal vowels or the degree of liaison. However, these variations generally do not affect the core syllabification rules.
