1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "responsabilisas" is a verb conjugation in French, specifically the 2nd person singular present indicative of the verb "responsabiliser". It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives a slight emphasis.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: re- (Latin origin, meaning "again," "back," or "thoroughly"). Functions as a verbal prefix, often indicating repetition or intensification.
• Root: spons- (Latin sponsus, past participle of spondere "to pledge, promise"). Forms the core of the word relating to responsibility.
• Suffix: -abil- (Latin -abilis, meaning "able to be"). Forms an adjective from a verb, indicating capability.
• Suffix: -iser (French suffix, derived from Latin -izare). Forms a verb, often indicating causing something to become.
• Suffix: -as (French verb ending, 2nd person singular present indicative). Indicates the person and tense of the verb.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: "sa-bi-li-sas". French stress is generally on the final syllable of a phrase or breath group, but within a word, it tends to fall on the penultimate syllable if the final syllable is light (ends in a vowel or a sonorant consonant).

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁɛ.sɔ̃.sa.bi.li.za/

6. Edge Case Review:

The sequence "ns" is a common consonant cluster in French and doesn't typically trigger syllable separation. The vowel "o" in "respons-" is pronounced as /ɔ/ in standard French.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Responsabiliser" can function as a transitive verb. The syllabification remains consistent regardless of its grammatical role.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To make someone responsible; to assign responsibility to someone.
• Translation: To hold accountable, to empower with responsibility.
• Grammatical Category: Verb (transitive)
• Synonyms: charger de, confier à, imputer à
• Antonyms: décharger de, exonérer de
• Examples:
  • "On le responsabilisa de la gestion du projet." (He was put in charge of managing the project.)
  • "Il faut responsabiliser les jeunes." (We must empower young people with responsibility.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• responsabilité (responsibility): re-spon-sa-bi-li-té. Similar syllable structure, with the "-sabilité" portion being nearly identical.
• responsable (responsible): re-spon-sa-ble. Shares the "re-spon-sa-" syllable structure.
• capitaliser (to capitalize): ca-pi-ta-li-ser. While the root differs, the "-iser" ending creates a similar final syllable structure. The difference in syllable count is due to the differing length of the root morpheme.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds. (Applied throughout the word)
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are complex or disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation. (Applied to "ns" in "responsabilisas")
• Rule 3: Penultimate Stress: Stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable in French words, especially when the final syllable is light. (Applied to determine stress placement)

11. Special Considerations:

The word is a relatively complex verb conjugation, and its syllabification relies on understanding the underlying morphemic structure. The "re-" prefix is always a separate syllable. The "abil" sequence is treated as a single unit due to its common occurrence and function as a suffix.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While standard French pronunciation is used here, some regional variations might exist in the pronunciation of the vowel sounds, but these would not significantly alter the syllabification.
