Hyphenation ofobjectivassions

Analysis of "objectivassions" (French)

1. Pronunciation & Initial Examination:

The word "objectivassions" is a complex verb form in French, specifically the first-person plural imperfect subjunctive. It's derived from the adjective "objectif" (objective). Pronunciation involves careful attention to liaison and vowel elision possibilities, though these don't directly affect the core syllabification.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex and involve a sonorant consonant, the division is as follows (using only the original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: None
• Root: objectiv- (from Latin objectivus, meaning "objective") - Adjectival root.
• Suffix: -assions - This is a complex suffix indicating the first-person plural imperfect subjunctive. It's composed of:
  • -a- (thematic vowel)
  • -ss- (from the être auxiliary in the subjunctive)
  • -ions (first-person plural ending)

4. Stress Identification:

French generally has stress on the final syllable of a phrase or breath group. In this case, the final syllable is stressed.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɔb.ʒɛk.ti.va.sjɔ̃/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• ob-: /ɔb/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. No consonant clusters prevent division here. Exception: None.
• jec-: /ʒɛk/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant after vowel forms a closed syllable. Exception: None.
• ti-: /ti/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows consonant, creating a new syllable. Exception: None.
• va-: /va/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows consonant, creating a new syllable. Exception: None.
• sjɔ̃-: /sjɔ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Nasal vowel forms a syllable nucleus. The 'sj' cluster is permissible at the beginning of a syllable. Exception: None.

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'sj' cluster is relatively common in French and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The complex suffix '-assions' is a standard feature of French verb conjugation and doesn't introduce unusual syllabic boundaries.

8. Grammatical Role:

As a verb form, the syllabification remains consistent. If "objectivassions" were hypothetically used as a noun (which is extremely rare and non-standard), the stress would likely remain on the final syllable, and the syllabification would not change.

9. Definition & Semantics:
