Hyphenation ofsystématisions

Analysis of "systématisions" (French)

1. Pronunciation: The word "systématisions" is pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives a slight emphasis. The 's' at the beginning is pronounced, and the 't' in 'système' is pronounced.

2. Syllable Division: sys-té-ma-ti-sions

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: sys- (Greek origin, meaning "with, together") - functions to combine with the root.
• Root: système (Latin systema, from Greek systēma) - meaning "system".
• Suffix: -ations (French suffix, derived from Latin -ationem) - indicates a verbal action and forms the imperfect subjunctive. The suffix is composed of:
  • -a- (linking vowel)
  • -tions (forms the imperfect subjunctive)
• Suffix: -ons (French suffix, derived from Latin -onem) - indicates the first-person plural imperfect subjunctive.

4. Stress Identification: The primary stress falls on the syllable "ti" in "ti-sions". While French stress is generally on the final syllable, the presence of the schwa sound in "sions" shifts the emphasis slightly back to "ti".

5. Phonetic Transcription: /sis.te.ma.ti.sjons/

6. Edge Case Review: French syllabification generally follows the principle of maximizing onsets. However, consonant clusters can be complex. In this case, the 'st' cluster is permissible as an onset.

7. Grammatical Role: "Systématisions" is the first-person plural imperfect subjunctive of the verb "systématiser" (to systematize). The syllabification remains consistent regardless of the verb's tense or mood.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: First-person plural imperfect subjunctive of "systématiser". It expresses a hypothetical or conditional action of systematizing.
• Translation: "we would systematize"
• Grammatical Category: Verb (Imperfect Subjunctive)
• Synonyms: ordonnions (we would order), organisions (we would organize)
• Antonyms: désorganisons (we would disorganize)
• Examples: "Si nous avions plus de temps, nous systématisions nos efforts." (If we had more time, we would systematize our efforts.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• organisation: or-ga-ni-sa-tion - Similar syllable structure, with consonant clusters.
• information: in-for-ma-tion - Similar ending in "-tion", creating a comparable syllable division.
• communication: co-mu-ni-ca-tion - Similar structure with a consonant cluster at the beginning and the "-tion" ending.

The differences in syllable division arise from the initial consonant clusters and the specific vowel sequences within each word. "Systématisions" has a 'sys' cluster, while the others have 'or', 'in', and 'co' respectively.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Onset Maximization: French tends to maximize onsets, meaning consonants are assigned to the following vowel whenever possible. (Applied to 'sys', 'ti', 'sions')
• Rule 2: Vowel Grouping: Vowel groups generally form a single syllable. (Applied to 'té', 'ma')
• Rule 3: Consonant Cluster Division: Consonant clusters are divided based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to be syllable nuclei. (Applied to 'st')

11. Special Considerations: The presence of the accented 'é' influences the pronunciation and can subtly affect the perceived syllable boundaries. The schwa sound in "sions" is often reduced or elided in rapid speech, which could lead to a slightly different syllabic perception.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations: While the standard pronunciation is /sis.te.ma.ti.sjons/, some regional variations might exhibit a more pronounced schwa in "sions" or a slight shift in stress. These variations would not fundamentally alter the syllable division.
