6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable:

• rem-: /ʁɑ̃/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. The 'm' closes the syllable, but the vowel sound is the nucleus. No exceptions.
• bar-: /baʁ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s). The 'r' is a liquid consonant and can be part of the syllable. No exceptions.
• cas-: /kas/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s). The 's' closes the syllable. No exceptions.
• sions: /jɔ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant(s). The 's' closes the syllable. The 'i' creates a semi-vowel sound before the vowel. No exceptions.

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'r' in "bar" is a typical French 'r', a uvular fricative. The nasal vowels /ɑ̃/ and /ɔ̃/ are common in French and don't present syllabification issues.

8. Grammatical Role:

As a conjugated verb form, the syllabification remains consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

9. Definition & Semantics:

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Pronunciation of the 'r' can vary slightly regionally (more or less uvular). However, this doesn't affect the syllabification. Liaison between "assions" and a following vowel sound is possible, but doesn't change the syllable structure of the word itself.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• embarrassions: re-em-ba-ras-sions - Similar structure, with a prefix and complex consonant clusters.
• débarquassions: de-bar-quas-sions - Similar structure, differing only in the initial prefix.
• remboursassions: rem-bours-as-sions - Similar structure, with a different root.

The syllable division is consistent across these words, demonstrating the application of the same rules. The presence of nasal vowels and final consonant clusters doesn't alter the basic syllabic structure.
