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/ can sometimes lead to ambiguity, but here it clearly forms a syllable with the 'r'.
• poi-: /pwa/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sound 'oi' creates a syllable.
• sson-: /sɔ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster 'ss' followed by a nasal vowel. Exception: The 'ss' cluster is permissible in French and doesn't necessitate syllable separation.
• ne-: /nə/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel sound 'e' creates a syllable.
• rons: /ʁɔ̃/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Nasal vowel 'ɔ̃' followed by 's'. Exception: The 'ns' cluster is common and doesn't require separation.

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'ss' cluster in "sson" is a common feature of French and doesn't typically cause syllabification issues. The nasal vowels are also standard and don't present exceptional cases.

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

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the realization of nasal vowels, but not the syllabification. Liaison between "rempoissonnerons" and a following vowel sound is possible, but doesn't alter the syllable structure.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• rembourserons (to reimburse): re-m-bour-se-rons. Similar structure with a prefix and a root. The 'mb' cluster is handled similarly to the 'ss' cluster.

These comparisons demonstrate the consistent application of French syllabification rules, prioritizing vowel sounds and avoiding unnecessary consonant cluster breaks.
