3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: re- (Latin, prefix meaning "again," "back," or "thoroughly"). Functions as a prefix indicating repetition or intensification.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁɛ.sɔ̃.sa.bi.li.ze/

6. Edge Case Review:

The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "son" requires careful consideration. French nasal vowels are formed by lowering the velum during vowel production, allowing air to escape through the nose. The 's' between vowels is pronounced as /s/.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Responsabilisée" primarily functions as a past participle. As a past participle, it can be used with être or avoir to form compound tenses (e.g., elle est responsabilisée - she is made responsible). Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a compound tense.

These words share the -isée suffix and exhibit similar stress patterns, demonstrating the consistency of French stress rules. The differences in initial consonant clusters affect the initial syllable division.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation.
• Rule 3: Prefix/Suffix Separation: Prefixes and suffixes are typically separated into distinct syllables.
• Rule 4: Penultimate Stress: In words of more than one syllable, stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ requires careful pronunciation. The 's' between vowels is always pronounced. The word's length and suffixation require careful application of syllable division rules to avoid creating unnatural divisions.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is /ʁɛ.sɔ̃.sa.bi.li.ze/, some regional variations might exist in the pronunciation of the 'r' sound. However, these variations do not significantly affect the syllable division.
