Hyphenation ofredémarrassent

Analysis of "redémarrassent"

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "redémarrassent" is a conjugated form of the verb "redémarrer" (to restart). It's the third-person plural imperfect subjunctive. Pronunciation involves nasal vowels, liaison possibilities, and a complex verb structure.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are pronounced as separate syllables, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: re- (Latin, meaning "again," "back"). Function: iterative/repetitive action.
• Root: demarr- (from demarrer, ultimately from Old French desmarer meaning "to unharness, to begin"). Function: core meaning of starting or launching.
• Suffix: -ass- (inflectional, part of the verb stem formation, related to the iterative aspect). Function: intensifies the action.
• Suffix: -ent (inflectional, third-person plural imperfect subjunctive ending). Function: indicates person and mood/tense.

4. Stress Identification:

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

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁe.de.ma.ʁas.sɑ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The sequence "rr" is a geminate consonant, but in French, it doesn't typically create a syllable break. The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in "rassent" is a common feature of French and influences the syllabification.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification doesn't significantly shift based on grammatical role, as the core structure remains verbal.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: They were restarting / They would restart (hypothetically).
• Part of Speech: Verb (Imperfect Subjunctive)
• Translation: They were restarting / They would restart.
• Synonyms: reprenaient, recommençaient (depending on nuance)
• Antonyms: arrêtaient (stopped)
• Examples:
  • "Ils redémarrassent la machine après la panne." (They were restarting the machine after the breakdown.)
  • "Si j'avais le temps, je redémarrassais ce projet." (If I had the time, I would restart this project.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• redémarrer: re-dé-ma-rer (similar structure, stress on final syllable)
• démarrent: dé-ma-ʁɑ̃ (similar root, different ending, stress on final syllable)
• remarquent: ʁe-maʁk (similar prefix, different root, stress on final syllable)

The syllable structure is consistent across these words, with vowel-based divisions and final syllable stress. The presence of nasal vowels and consonant clusters is also a common feature.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Pronunciation of the "r" sound can vary regionally (uvular vs. alveolar). This doesn't affect the syllabification, however.

11. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Based Syllabification: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily pronounceable as separate syllables (which isn't the case here).
• Final Syllable Stress: French typically stresses the final syllable.
