5. Phonetic Transcription:

/fə.tə.t͡ɕʊv.stvʲɪ.tʲɪlʲ.nəsʲtʲ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification generally avoids leaving a syllable with only a consonant. The 'в' in "чувствительность" is part of the syllable "стви", as it's followed by a vowel. The 'т' in "чувствительность" is also part of the syllable "стви" because it is followed by a vowel.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a noun. Its inflexion doesn't significantly alter the syllabification.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as described above, some speakers might slightly reduce the vowels even further, particularly in rapid speech. This doesn't affect the syllabification, however.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each syllable contains a vowel sound.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the syllable nucleus (vowel).
