Hyphenation oférythroblastose

1. IPA Transcription:

/e.ʁi.tʁo.bla.stɔz/

2. Morphemic Breakdown:

• Prefix: érythro- (Greek erythros - red). Indicates the presence of red blood cells or relating to redness.
• Root: blast- (Greek blastos - germ, bud). Refers to an immature cell.
• Suffix: -ose (French suffix, ultimately from Greek -osis). Indicates a condition, disease, or abnormal process.

3. Stressed Syllables:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: /e.ʁi.tʁo.bla.stɔz/.

4. Syllables List with IPA and Rule Explanations:

• é-ry: /e.ʁi/ - Open syllable. Vowel followed by a consonant. Rule: French syllables generally end in a vowel (open syllable) or a consonant (closed syllable). The 'é' is a closed syllable, and 'ry' is an open syllable.
• -thro: /tʁo/ - Closed syllable. Consonant cluster followed by a vowel. Rule: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce.
• -bla: /bla/ - Closed syllable. Consonant cluster followed by a vowel. Rule: Similar to above, consonant clusters are maintained.
• -stose: /stɔz/ - Closed syllable. Consonant cluster followed by a vowel. Rule: Again, consonant clusters are maintained.

5. Syllable Division Rule Explanations:

• Rule 1: Open vs. Closed Syllables: French syllables tend to be either open (ending in a vowel) or closed (ending in a consonant).
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable, unless they are too complex for French phonotactics.
• Rule 3: Vowel Groupings: Vowel groupings are generally separated into distinct syllables if they represent different vowel sounds.

6. Potential Exceptions/Special Cases:

• The 'r' sound in French is a uvular fricative, which can sometimes influence syllable boundaries, but in this case, it doesn't create a significant exception.
• The presence of the acute accent (é) doesn't directly affect syllable division but indicates a closed syllable.

7. Exceptions/Special Cases for the Word as a Whole:

• The word is relatively straightforward in its syllabification, adhering to standard French rules. No major exceptions are present.

8. Syllabification and Parts of Speech:

• Érythroblastose is primarily a noun. Its syllabification remains consistent regardless of its grammatical role. It doesn't readily function as other parts of speech.

9. Definition of the Word:

• Definition: A disease, typically congenital, characterized by an abnormal increase in immature red blood cells (erythroblasts) in the circulation.
• Translation: Erythroblastosis
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine)
• Synonyms: Erythroblastemia
• Antonyms: None directly applicable.
• Examples:
  • "Le nouveau-né souffrait d'érythroblastose." (The newborn was suffering from erythroblastosis.)
  • "L'érythroblastose fœtale est une maladie grave." (Fetal erythroblastosis is a serious disease.)

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

• Regional variations in pronunciation are minimal for this word. The pronunciation is fairly standardized across France. However, some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel in the final syllable. This wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division.

11. Phonological Comparison with Similar Words:

• Photosynthèse: /fɔ.tɔ.sɛ̃.tɛz/ - Syllables: pho-to-syn-thè-se. Similar structure with consonant clusters and vowel-final syllables.
• Psychose: /psi.kɔz/ - Syllables: psy-cho-se. Similar structure with consonant clusters and vowel-final syllables.
• Hémorragie: /e.mɔ.ʁa.ʒi/ - Syllables: hé-mo-ra-gie. Similar structure with consonant clusters and vowel-final syllables.

The syllable division in érythroblastose is consistent with these words, demonstrating the application of the same French syllabification rules. The presence of consonant clusters is handled similarly in all cases.
