3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: ré- (Latin re- meaning "again, anew"). Function: Intensifier, often indicating repetition or a new beginning.
• Root: volution (from Latin volutio meaning "rolling, turning"). Function: Core meaning related to revolution.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁe.vɔ.ly.sjo.na.ʁism/

6. Edge Case Review:

The sequence "sion" can sometimes be a point of variation, but in this case, it's clearly pronounced as /sjo/. The liaison possibilities with following words are not relevant for the internal syllabification of the word itself.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A revolutionary ideology or tendency; the principles or practices of revolutionaries.
• Translation: Revolutionary ideology, revolutionary tendency.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine)
• Synonyms: révolutionnisme, radicalisme (radicalism)
• Antonyms: conservatisme (conservatism), traditionalisme (traditionalism)
• Examples: "Le révolutionnarisme de ce groupe était évident." (The revolutionary ideology of this group was evident.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• Capitalisme: ca-pi-ta-lis-me. Similar syllable structure with a final "-isme" suffix. Stress also on the final syllable.
• Socialisme: so-cia-lis-me. Again, the "-isme" suffix dictates the stress pattern.
• Communisme: co-mu-nis-me. Similar structure, with stress on the final syllable. The consistent presence of "-isme" creates a predictable stress pattern.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Syllabification: French syllables are generally built around vowel sounds. Each vowel (or vowel combination) forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are difficult to pronounce.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable.
• Rule 4: Liaison Avoidance: Syllabification is determined by the word itself, not potential liaisons with following words.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ré-" prefix is a relatively common prefix in French, and its syllabification is straightforward. The "volution" root is also relatively stable in terms of pronunciation and syllabification. The "-nar-" suffix is less common but follows established patterns.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the provided IPA transcription represents standard French pronunciation, slight regional variations may exist, particularly in the pronunciation of nasal vowels. However, these variations would not significantly alter the syllabification.
