Hyphenation ofsensibilisations

Linguistic Analysis of "sensibilisations" (French)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "sensibilisations" is a French noun meaning "sensitizations." It's a relatively complex word, built upon a root and several suffixes. Pronunciation involves nasal vowels and liaison possibilities.

2. Syllable Division:

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

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: sens- (Latin sensus - sense, feeling) - contributes to the core meaning.
• Root: sensibil- (Latin sensibilis - capable of feeling) - the base denoting the capacity to perceive or be affected.
• Suffix: -isations (French suffix) - derived from -isation (French) which itself comes from Latin -ationem (nominal suffix indicating action or result). This suffix transforms the verb "sensibiliser" (to sensitize) into a noun.

4. Stress Identification:

In French, stress typically falls on the last syllable of a word or phrase. In this case, the stress is on "-sions".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/sɑ̃.si.bi.li.za.sjɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The presence of nasal vowels (/ɑ̃/, /ɔ̃/) and the consonant cluster "-sions" require careful consideration. French generally avoids ending a syllable with a consonant unless it's part of a consonant cluster that can be pronounced as a unit.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act of making someone aware of something, or the process of becoming sensitive.
• Translation: Sensitizations
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine)
• Synonyms: prises de conscience, sensibilisation du public
• Antonyms: désensibilisation, indifférence
• Examples: "Les campagnes de sensibilisations sur le cancer du sein sont importantes." (Breast cancer awareness campaigns are important.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• nationalisations: na-tio-na-li-sa-tions - Similar structure with multiple suffixes. Stress on the final syllable.
• organisations: o-rga-ni-sa-tions - Similar suffixation and stress pattern.
• civilisations: si-vi-li-sa-tions - Again, similar suffixation and stress. The initial consonant cluster is different, but the overall pattern is consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are maintained unless they can be easily separated into pronounceable syllables.
• Final Syllable Rule: The final syllable often contains the stress and is formed around the final vowel.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowels require attention as they influence syllable boundaries. The "-sions" ending is a common French suffix and follows established syllabification patterns.
