Hyphenation ofpostsynchronisations

Analysis of "postsynchronisations" (French)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "postsynchronisations" is a complex noun formed through compounding and suffixation. Pronunciation in French follows specific rules regarding liaison, elision, and vowel quality. The 's' at the end of 'post' and 'synchronisation' will likely be silent unless followed by a vowel sound in connected speech.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the word divides as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: post- (Latin, meaning "after") - Adverbial prefix indicating time or position.
• Root: synchronisation (Greek syn- "together" + chronos "time" + French -isation suffix) - Noun denoting the act of synchronizing.
• Suffix: -s (French) - Plural marker for nouns.

4. Stress Identification:

French generally has stress on the final syllable of a word or a phrase. In this case, the stress falls on the final syllable, "-sations".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/pɔst.sɛ̃.kʁɔ.ni.za.sjɔ̃/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with rule explanations:

• post-: /pɔst/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. The 'o' is the vowel nucleus. No consonant clusters are broken.
• -syn-: /sɛ̃/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sounds create syllable boundaries. The nasal vowel 'ɛ̃' forms the nucleus.
• -chro-: /kʁɔ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sounds create syllable boundaries. The 'o' is the vowel nucleus.
• -ni-: /ni/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sounds create syllable boundaries. The 'i' is the vowel nucleus.
• -sa-: /za/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sounds create syllable boundaries. The 'a' is the vowel nucleus.
• -tions: /sjɔ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. The nasal vowel 'ɔ̃' forms the nucleus. The 's' closes the syllable.

7. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "chr" is not broken, as it's a common and accepted sequence in French. The nasal vowels require careful transcription.

8. Grammatical Role:

The word is a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical context (e.g., in a phrase).

9. Definition & Semantics:

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:
