Open Syllables

French favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). This is evident in the division of 'gra-ma-ti-ca-li-sée'.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally broken up to create onsets and codas, but certain clusters (like 'lis') are allowed.

Final Schwa

The final schwa (e) often forms its own syllable, but can sometimes be elided.

Maximizing Onsets

Syllable division attempts to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.

  • The presence of the past participle suffix '-isée' influences the syllable division.
  • The final schwa is a common feature of French and can be reduced or elided in rapid speech.
