The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: -rons.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɡi.mɛ.tʁɔ̃.ʁɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

French syllabification generally avoids breaking consonant clusters unless they are pronounceable as separate syllables. The "tr" cluster in "mettre" is treated as a single onset. Nasal vowels are considered syllable nuclei.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Guillemetterons" is the first-person plural future indicative of the verb "guillemeter" (to enclose in guillemets/quotation marks). The syllabification remains consistent regardless of the verb's tense or mood.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: We will enclose in guillemets/quotation marks.
• Part of Speech: Verb (future indicative)
• Translation: We will quote.
• Synonyms: Citer, mettre entre guillemets
• Antonyms: None directly applicable.
• Examples: "Nous guillemetterons les passages importants." (We will quote the important passages.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "commencerons" (we will begin): com-men-ce-rons. Similar structure with a verb root and future tense ending.
• "chanterons" (we will sing): chan-te-rons. Similar structure, demonstrating the consistent application of the -erons ending.
• "regretterons" (we will regret): re-gret-te-rons. Again, the same pattern of syllable division and stress. The difference lies in the initial consonant cluster.

Detailed Syllable Analysis:

Division Rules Applied:

1. Vowel Rule: Each vowel generally forms a syllable nucleus.
2. Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets unless they can be naturally separated.
3. Nasal Vowel Rule: Nasal vowels form syllable nuclei.
4. Penultimate Stress Rule: In French, stress typically falls on the last syllable of a word or the penultimate syllable if the last syllable is a schwa.

Special Considerations:

• The "gu" initial cluster is treated as a single onset.
• The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "rons" forms a complete syllable.
• The schwa /ə/ in "te" is a common feature of French pronunciation and doesn't affect syllable division.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Pronunciation of the schwa /ə/ can vary regionally. In some areas, it may be more pronounced or even dropped entirely, but this doesn't alter the syllable division.
