Analysis of "recommanderons" (French)

1. Pronunciation:

The word "recommanderons" is pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives slightly more prominence. The 'r' is a uvular fricative, typical of French.

2. Syllable Division:

The syllable division, adhering to the rule of maximizing onsets and respecting vowel clusters, is: re-com-man-de-ron-sons.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: re- (Latin, meaning "again," "back"). Morphological function: aspectual prefix, indicating repetition.
• Root: command- (Latin commendare, meaning "to recommend," "to entrust"). Morphological function: lexical root, carrying the core meaning.
• Suffix: -erons (French verbal inflection). Morphological function: future tense marker, 1st person plural. This is a portmanteau suffix combining the future tense marker and the 1st person plural pronoun.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: "de". While French stress is generally considered to be on the final syllable, in words ending in a schwa (like "-ons"), the stress shifts to the preceding syllable.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁə.kɔ.mɑ̃.də.ʁɔ̃.sɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

French syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant as the onset of a syllable. This is observed in the division man-de rather than m-ande. The nasal vowels /ɑ̃/ and /ɔ̃/ are also important considerations, as they form single units within the syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Recommanderons" is exclusively a verb form (future tense, 1st person plural of recommander). Syllabification does not change based on grammatical role, as it's a conjugated verb form.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To recommend, to advise, to suggest.
• Part of Speech: Verb
• Translation: We will recommend.
• Synonyms: conseiller, suggérer, proposer
• Antonyms: déconseiller, dissuader
• Examples:
  • "Nous vous recommandons ce restaurant." (We recommend this restaurant to you.)
  • "Je vous recommandeons de prendre des précautions." (We recommend you take precautions.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "comprendreons" (we will understand): com-pren-dro-nons. Similar syllable structure, with a consonant cluster onset in the final syllable.
• "annoncerons" (we will announce): an-non-ce-ro-nons. Similar structure, with a nasal vowel in the penultimate syllable.
• "regardons" (we look): re-gar-dons. Demonstrates the typical French pattern of avoiding single-consonant onsets.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

There are minimal regional variations in the pronunciation of "recommanderons". Some speakers might slightly reduce the schwa /ə/ in the first syllable, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.

11. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible (e.g., com-).
• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Avoidance of Single-Consonant Onsets: Consonants are generally not left as the sole onset of a syllable.
• Nasal Vowel Unit: Nasal vowels are treated as single units within a syllable.
