9. Phonological Comparison:

• comparaison: sédentariser (infinitive): sé-den-ta-ri-ser. Syllable division is consistent.
• comparaison: sédentaires (adjective): sé-den-tè-res. The stress shifts to the penultimate syllable due to the final vowel being silent.
• comparaison: décentraliser (verb): dé-cen-tra-li-ser. Similar structure with a prefix and a complex root, exhibiting comparable syllabification patterns. The difference lies in the initial consonant cluster and the root's vowel sounds.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel are generally open (e.g., sé, den).
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally broken up to avoid leaving a single consonant between vowels (e.g., ta-ri).
• Rule 3: Final Syllable: The final syllable often includes the final consonant(s) (e.g., rez).
• Rule 4: Nasal Vowels: Nasal vowels form their own syllables (e.g., dɑ̃).

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and the presence of a nasal vowel require careful attention to the rules. The verb conjugation ending "-rez" is a clear marker of the final syllable.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is /se.dɑ̃.ta.ʁi.ze.ʁe/, some regional variations might slightly alter the vowel quality or the pronunciation of the 'r' sound. However, these variations do not significantly affect the syllabification.
