6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• rem-: /ʁɛ̃/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. The 'm' closes the syllable. Exception: The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ is a characteristic of French phonology.
• pois-: /pwas/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sound 'oi' forms the nucleus. The 's' closes the syllable. Exception: The diphthong /wa/ is common in French.
• son-: /sɔ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sound 'o' forms the nucleus. The 'n' closes the syllable.
• ne-: /ne/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sound 'e' forms the nucleus.
• rez-: /ʁe/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sound 'e' forms the nucleus. The 'z' closes the syllable.

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'ss' cluster in "poiss-" doesn't create a syllable break because it's a single phoneme /s/ in French. The nasal vowels require careful transcription.

8. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification doesn't change based on grammatical role, as it's a conjugated verb.

9. Definition & Semantics:

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in French pronunciation are minimal for this word. Liaison between "ne" and "rez" is possible, creating /ne.ʁe/, but doesn't affect syllabification.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• rempliriez (would fill): rem-pli-riez (3 syllables). Similar structure with a prefix and verb root.
• repasserez (will iron again): re-pas-se-rez (4 syllables). Demonstrates how the addition of a consonant between vowels creates a new syllable.
• empoissonnerez (will fish): em-pois-son-ne-rez (5 syllables). Shows how a different prefix affects syllable count.

The consistent rule is that each vowel sound generally forms a syllable, and consonant clusters are maintained unless they can be naturally separated.
