Hyphenation ofréutilisations

Linguistic Analysis of "réutilisations" (French)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "réutilisations" is a French noun meaning "re-uses" or "reutilizations". It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives a slight emphasis. The 'r' is a uvular fricative, typical of French.

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, meaning "again, anew"). Morphological function: Prefixes the root to indicate repetition.
• Root: utilis- (Latin utilis, meaning "useful"). Morphological function: Provides the core meaning related to use.
• Suffix: -ations (French, derived from Latin -ationem). Morphological function: Forms a noun from a verb (in this case, a derivative of réutiliser - to reuse). This suffix also indicates a plural form.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: ti. French stress is generally on the last syllable unless it's a schwa (e), in which case the stress moves to the preceding syllable.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁe.ty.li.za.sjɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "lis" is a potential edge case. However, in French, such clusters are generally kept together within a syllable, especially when the vowel is followed by a liquid consonant (l). The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ also influences the syllabification, as it forms a single unit with the preceding consonant.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Réutilisations" is primarily a noun. The syllabification remains consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act of using something again; multiple instances of reuse.
• Translation: Re-uses, reutilizations.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine).
• Synonyms: usages, recyclages (recyclings)
• Antonyms: destruction, gaspillage (waste)
• Examples:
  • "Les réutilisations de matériaux réduisent les déchets." (The reuse of materials reduces waste.)
  • "Elle encourage les réutilisations créatives." (She encourages creative reuses.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• Utilisation: /y.ti.li.za.sjɔ̃/ - Syllable division: u-ti-li-sa-tion. Similar structure, demonstrating the consistent handling of the "lis" cluster.
• Réalisation: /ʁe.a.li.za.sjɔ̃/ - Syllable division: ré-a-li-sa-tion. Similar prefix and suffix, showing consistent syllabification patterns.
• Spécialisation: /spe.sja.li.za.sjɔ̃/ - Syllable division: spé-cia-li-sa-tion. Demonstrates how the initial consonant cluster is handled differently, forming a separate syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Preservation: Consonant clusters are kept together unless they are complex or interrupt the natural flow of vowel sounds.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the last syllable, unless it's a schwa.
• Rule 4: Nasal Vowel Unit: Nasal vowels (like /ɔ̃/) form a single syllable unit with the preceding consonant.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'r' sound in French is a uvular fricative, which can sometimes influence the perception of syllable boundaries. However, it doesn't alter the established syllabification rules.
