3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: None
• Root: natural- (Latin naturalis - relating to birth, origin) - provides the core meaning of 'natural'.
• Suffix: -isassiez - This is a complex suffix representing the imperfect subjunctive ending. It's built from:
  • -isa- (from the infinitive stem)
  • -ss- (a marker for the subjunctive mood)
  • -iez (imperfect subjunctive ending for the vous form)

4. Stress Identification:

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/na.ty.ʁa.li.zas.je/

6. Edge Case Review:

The sequence "lis" can sometimes be tricky, but in this case, the 's' is clearly part of the subjunctive marker and doesn't create a separate syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Imperfect subjunctive of "naturaliser" - to naturalize. It expresses a hypothetical or desired action of naturalizing, specifically directed towards "you" (formal/plural).
• Translation: "you would naturalize" (formal/plural)
• Part of Speech: Verb (imperfect subjunctive)
• Synonyms: (depending on context) - "acclimatiez" (acclimatize), "intégriez" (integrate)
• Antonyms: "dénationalisiez" (denationalize)
• Examples: "Si vous étiez éligibles, vous naturaliseriez, mais il faudrait que vous naturalisassiez avant de voter." (If you were eligible, you would naturalize, but you would have to have naturalized before voting.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• analysiez: na-ly-zi-ez - Similar structure, same subjunctive ending.
• organisasiez: oʁ.ɡa.ni.zas.je - Similar structure, same subjunctive ending.
• actualisassiez: ak.ty.a.li.zas.je - Similar structure, same subjunctive ending.

The consistent ending "-sasiez" dictates the final syllable structure in all these words. The differences lie in the initial consonant clusters and vowel qualities of the root.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel sound are generally open (e.g., "na", "ty", "li").
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are broken according to pronounceability, generally separating them around vowel sounds (e.g., "ra", "zas").
• Rule 3: Vowel Hiatus: Vowel sequences are generally separated into distinct syllables (e.g., "a-li").
• Rule 4: Final Syllable: The final syllable often includes any remaining consonants (e.g., "sas-iez").

11. Special Considerations:

The complex suffix "-isassiez" requires careful consideration. The 's' is not a syllable boundary marker but part of the morphological structure.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Pronunciation is relatively standard, with minimal regional variation. However, some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel sounds in unstressed syllables. This wouldn't significantly alter the syllabification.
