The consonant cluster "-str-" can sometimes pose challenges, but in this case, it's broken naturally between syllables due to the vowel sounds. The "r" is a typical French uvular "r".

7. Grammatical Role:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "métriques": mé-tʁik (similar syllable structure, stress on the last syllable)
• "sensoriel": sɑ̃.sɔ.ʁjɛl (similar prefix, vowel-consonant-vowel pattern)
• "paramétriques": pa.ʁa.me.tʁik (similar suffix, stress on the last syllable)

These words share similar syllable structures and stress patterns, demonstrating the consistency of French syllabification rules. The differences arise from the initial consonant clusters and vowel qualities.

10. Syllable Analysis Breakdown:

• sen-: /sɑ̃/ - Open syllable, nasal vowel. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant.
• so-: /sɔ/ - Open syllable, oral vowel. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant.
• ri-: /ʁi/ - Open syllable, vowel preceded by a consonant. Rule: Consonant-Vowel.
• mé-: /me/ - Open syllable, oral vowel. Rule: Vowel followed by consonant.
• tri-: /tʁi/ - Open syllable, vowel preceded by a consonant. Rule: Consonant-Vowel.
• ques: /k/ - Closed syllable, consonant. Rule: Consonant cluster at the end of the word.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in "sen-" is a common feature of French phonology and doesn't significantly alter the syllabification process. The "r" sound is uvular, a characteristic of standard French.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While standard French pronunciation is described above, some regional variations might exist in the articulation of the "r" sound (e.g., alveolar trill in some southern regions). However, these variations do not typically affect syllable division.
