Hyphenation ofreconstruirons

Analysis of "reconstruirons" (French)

1. Pronunciation:

The word "reconstruirons" is pronounced with a final schwa (ə) that is often silent in careful speech, but present in many pronunciations. The 'r' sounds are uvular, typical of standard French.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid stranded consonants, the word divides as follows (using only original letters):

re-con-strui-rons

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: re- (Latin) - Indicates repetition or restoration.
• Root: constru- (Latin construere - to build) - The core meaning of building or creating.
• Suffix: -irons (French) - Future tense marker, derived from the infinitive construire + future ending. This is a closed clitic.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: strui.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁə.kɔ̃.stʁɥi.ʁɔ̃/

6. Syllable List with IPA and Rule Explanations:

• re-: /ʁə/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. The 'r' is followed by a vowel, creating a syllable.
• con-: /kɔ̃/ - Nasal syllable. Rule: Nasal vowels form their own syllable. The 'on' creates a nasal vowel sound.
• strui-: /stʁɥi/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant clusters can be part of the syllable onset or coda. 'str' is a consonant cluster forming the onset, and 'i' is the vowel.
• rons-: /ʁɔ̃/ - Nasal syllable. Rule: Similar to 'con-', the 'on' creates a nasal vowel sound, forming a syllable.

7. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-centric Syllabification: French syllabification prioritizes vowels. Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are generally assigned to the syllable that follows or precedes them, avoiding isolated consonants.
• Nasal Vowel Syllabification: Nasal vowels (like /ɔ̃/ and /ɛ̃/) form their own syllables.

8. Exceptions/Special Cases:

The 'r' sound in French can sometimes be syllabic, but in this case, it's clearly part of the preceding syllable. The final 's' is silent, but its presence influences the syllabification of the preceding vowel.

9. Grammatical Role:

"Reconstruirons" is exclusively a verb in the future tense, first-person plural. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of tense.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

In some regional variations, the final schwa may be more pronounced. This doesn't significantly alter the syllabification.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• reconstruire: re-con-strui-re /ʁə.kɔ̃.stʁɥiʁ/ - Similar syllable structure, with the addition of a final 're'.
• construisons: con-strui-sons /kɔ̃.stʁɥi.sɔ̃/ - Shares the root 'construi-' with a different ending.
• reconnaître: re-con-naî-tre /ʁə.kɔ̃.nɛtʁ/ - Similar prefix 're-' and vowel-centric syllabification.

The differences in syllable count are due to the varying suffixes and endings. The core principle of vowel-centric syllabification remains consistent.
