Hyphenation oftoussailleront

Analysis of "toussailleront"

1. Pronunciation Examination:

The word "toussailleront" is the future tense, third-person plural form of the verb "toussailler" (to cough). It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, typical of French verb conjugations.

2. Syllable Division:

Following French syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: tous- (Old French tous, from Latin totus - all). Function: Intensifier, originally indicating completeness of the action.
• Root: saill- (from Old French saillir, from Latin salire - to jump, leap). Function: Core meaning related to a sudden expulsion of air. In this context, it relates to the action of coughing.
• Suffix: -eront (future tense marker). Function: Indicates future tense, third-person plural. Derived from the infinitive ending -er plus the future tense auxiliary ront (from ire).

4. Stress Identification:

French generally has stress on the last syllable of a phrase or a rhythmic group. In this case, the stress falls on the final syllable "-ront". However, the stress is not as prominent as in English; it's more a matter of rhythmic prominence.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/tu.sɛ.je.ʁɔ̃/

6. Edge Case Review:

The "ai" in "sailler" is a diphthong, and is treated as a single syllable unit. The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ in "-ront" is a common feature of French and doesn't pose a specific syllabification challenge.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Toussailleront" is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification doesn't change based on grammatical role as it's a conjugated verb.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To cough (future tense, third-person plural).
• Part of Speech: Verb
• Translation: They will cough.
• Synonyms: tousseront (more common), crachoteront (to cough and spit)
• Antonyms: se taire (to be silent)
• Examples: "Ils toussailleront pendant la nuit." (They will cough during the night.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• travailleront: /tʁa.va.je.ʁɔ̃/ - Syllable division: tra-vai-lle-ront. Similar structure with a verb root and future tense ending.
• chanteront: /ʃɑ̃.tə.ʁɔ̃/ - Syllable division: chan-te-ront. Similar future tense ending and vowel-consonant structure.
• joueront: /ʒwe.ʁɔ̃/ - Syllable division: joue-ront. Shorter verb root, but maintains the future tense ending and stress pattern.

The consistent presence of "-ront" as a final syllable in these words demonstrates the regular application of the future tense marker and its impact on syllabification.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

There are minimal regional variations in the pronunciation of this word. The /ʁ/ sound (the French 'r') can vary between uvular and alveolar pronunciations, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.

11. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Open Syllables: Syllables ending in a vowel sound are generally open syllables (e.g., "tu", "sɛ").
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex (e.g., "ll" in "toussailleront" remains within the "sai" syllable).
• Rule 3: Vowel Sequences: Diphthongs (like "ai" in "sailler") are treated as a single vowel sound within a syllable.
• Rule 4: Final Syllable: The final syllable often receives stress and is clearly delineated.
