6. Syllable List with IPA and Rule Explanations:

• par: /paʁ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Consonant-vowel structure. No special cases.
• cel: /sɛl/ - Open syllable. Rule: Consonant-vowel structure. No special cases.
• li: /li/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel-vowel sequence, the first vowel forms a syllable. No special cases.

7. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Consonant-Vowel (CV): The most basic rule. Each consonant followed by a vowel typically forms a syllable.
• Rule 2: Vowel-Vowel (VV): When two vowels appear consecutively, they are generally separated into different syllables, with each vowel forming its own syllable.
• Rule 3: Nasal Vowels: Nasal vowels typically close the syllable they belong to.

8. Exceptions & Special Cases:

• The "ll" sequence in "li" doesn't create a diphthong in French, so it's treated as a single consonant followed by a vowel.
• Liaison is possible between "se" and the following word if it begins with a vowel. This doesn't affect the syllabification of "parcelliseraient" itself.

9. Grammatical Role & Syllabification Shifts:

"Parcelliser" is primarily a verb. As a verb, the syllabification remains consistent across tenses and moods.

The consistency in stress placement and syllable division across these words demonstrates the regularity of French syllabification rules. The length of the word doesn't fundamentally alter the application of these rules.
