Hyphenation ofrévolutionnasses

Linguistic Analysis of "révolutionnasses" (French)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "révolutionnasses" is a relatively complex French noun. It's a somewhat archaic or playful formation, derived from "révolution" and adding a suffix. Pronunciation involves nasal vowels and a potential liaison depending on context.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex and involve a sonorant consonant, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: None
• Root: révolution (from Latin revolutio - a turning around, change). This is the core meaning of 'revolution'.
• Suffix: -nasses (a playful, augmentative suffix, likely derived from a colloquial formation, adding a sense of multitude or exaggeration). Its origin is less clear-cut than the root, but it's a common suffix in informal French to create diminutives or augmentatives.

4. Stress Identification:

French generally has stress on the final syllable of a phrase or word group. However, in polysyllabic words, there's a tendency for a weaker stress on the penultimate syllable. In this case, the primary stress falls on the final syllable, "-nasses".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁe.vɔ.ly.sjo.nas/

6. Edge Case Review:

The "nasses" suffix is unusual and doesn't follow standard morphological patterns. This makes the syllabification slightly less predictable than with more common suffixes. The 'n' before 'nasses' could potentially create a consonant cluster that might be broken in some analyses, but the vowel sound within 'nasses' is strong enough to maintain the syllable structure.

7. Grammatical Role:

"révolutionnasses" is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A multitude of revolutions; a series of upheavals or changes. Often used humorously or ironically.
• Translation: "Revolutions" (in a plural, exaggerated sense)
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine plural)
• Synonyms: bouleversements, révoltes (upheavals, revolts)
• Antonyms: stabilité, conservatisme (stability, conservatism)
• Examples: "Les révolutionnasses du siècle dernier ont changé le monde." (The revolutions of the last century changed the world.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• révolution: /ʁe.vɔ.ly.sjɔ̃/ - Syllables: ré-vo-lu-tion. Similar structure, but lacks the suffix. Stress is on the final syllable.
• impressions: /ɛ̃.pʁɛ.sjɔ̃/ - Syllables: im-pres-sions. Similar in having a final -sions ending. Stress on the final syllable.
• professions: /pʁɔ.fɛ.sjɔ̃/ - Syllables: pro-fes-sions. Similar in having a final -sions ending. Stress on the final syllable.

The syllable division in all these words follows the pattern of maximizing vowel sounds within syllables and avoiding breaking up consonant clusters unless necessary. The addition of the "-nasses" suffix in "révolutionnasses" extends this pattern.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in French pronunciation are minimal regarding syllable division. However, the degree of stress on the penultimate syllable might vary slightly.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel Peak Rule: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are complex and involve a sonorant consonant.
• Final Syllable Stress Rule: French generally stresses the final syllable.
