3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "chr" is a potential edge case, but in French, it is generally treated as a single unit within a syllable. The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ also requires careful consideration.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Technocratisent" is exclusively a verb. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its grammatical function as it is only a verb form.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To act or behave like technocrats; to apply technocratic principles.
• Translation: To technocratize.
• Grammatical Category: Verb (third-person plural, present indicative)
• Synonyms: technocratiser (more common), gouverner technocratiquement (to govern technocratically)
• Antonyms: démocratiser (to democratize)
• Examples: "Les experts technocratisent les décisions politiques." (The experts technocratize political decisions.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "démocratisent" (to democratize): dé-mo-cra-ti-sent. Similar structure with a prefix, root, and suffix. Stress on the final syllable.
• "bureaucratisent" (to bureaucratize): bu-reau-cra-ti-sent. Similar structure, stress on the final syllable.
• "capitalisent" (to capitalize): ca-pi-ta-li-sent. Similar suffix "-isent", stress on the final syllable.

The syllable division in all these words follows the same pattern: vowel-based division with consonant clusters remaining intact within syllables unless they are easily separable.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Syllabification: Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Preservation: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound.
• Rule 3: Final Syllable Stress: Stress typically falls on the final syllable of a French word.

11. Special Considerations:

The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in the final syllable influences the preceding consonant's pronunciation. The "t" is not fully pronounced before the nasal vowel.
