1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "intuitionnistes" is a French adjective/noun meaning "intuitionists." It's a relatively complex word with multiple suffixes. Pronunciation involves nasal vowels and a final schwa.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are pronounced as separate syllables, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: in- (Latin, meaning "in, into") - functions as a negative or intensifying prefix, though its function is less direct here.
• Root: tuition- (Latin tuitio from tuer "to protect, watch over") - relates to the concept of understanding or perceiving.

4. Stress Identification:

5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

The double 'n' in "intuition" can sometimes cause slight variations in pronunciation, but doesn't affect syllabification. The final "-s" is a standard plural marker and doesn't present a syllabification challenge.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Intuitionnistes" can function as both an adjective (masculine plural) and a noun (masculine plural). Syllabification remains consistent regardless of grammatical function.

8. Definition & Semantics:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• opportunistes: o-pɔʁ.ty.nist - Similar structure with a suffix "-iste". Stress falls on the penultimate syllable.
• socialistes: sɔ.sjɑ.list - Similar suffix "-iste", stress on the penultimate syllable.
• capitalistes: ka.pi.ta.list - Again, "-iste" suffix, penultimate syllable stress. These comparisons demonstrate the consistent stress pattern with the "-iste" suffix.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are kept together unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound.
• Final Schwa Rule: The final schwa (ə) often forms its own syllable, but doesn't affect the stress placement.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in the first syllable is a characteristic feature of French phonology and doesn't affect the syllabification process. The double 'n' doesn't create a syllable break.
