Hyphenation ofcomputarizabais

Analysis of "computarizabais" (Spanish)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "computarizabais" is a conjugated verb form. Its pronunciation follows standard Spanish phonological rules, including vowel reduction in unstressed syllables and the pronunciation of 'z' as /θ/ in most of Spain and /s/ in Latin America.

2. Syllable Division:

The syllable division will be based on the following rules (detailed in section 9): vowel sounds separate, consonant clusters are broken according to sonority, and the preservation of digraphs.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: com- (Latin, meaning 'with', 'together', intensifying the action)
• Root: put (Latin putare, meaning 'to think', 'to calculate')
• Suffixes: -ariz- (verbal suffix creating a noun or verb related to computation, derived from English "-ize"), -a- (thematic vowel), -bais (2nd person plural imperfect subjunctive ending)

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable, following the general rule for words ending in vowels (other than -n, -s).

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/komputaɾiθaˈβais/ (Spain) or /komputaɾisaˈβais/ (Latin America)

6. Edge Case Review:

The sequence "rz" presents a slight edge case. While generally, consonant clusters are broken, "rz" functions as a single phoneme in pronunciation, and is treated as such in syllabification.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Computarizabais" is the 2nd person plural imperfect subjunctive of the verb "computarizar". The syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of the verb's tense or mood.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: You all were computing/calculating/processing. (Imperfect Subjunctive of "computarizar")
• Part of Speech: Verb (Imperfect Subjunctive)
• Translation: You all were computing/calculating/processing.
• Synonyms: procesabais, calculabais
• Antonyms: descomputarizabais (though less common)
• Examples: "Si tuvierais más tiempo, computarizabais los datos." (If you had more time, you would be computing the data.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• computadora: com-pu-ta-do-ra (similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable)
• calcular: cal-cu-lar (similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable)
• organizar: or-ga-ni-zar (similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable)

The syllable division in these words follows the same principles: vowels separate syllables, consonant clusters are broken based on sonority, and stress falls on the penultimate syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel Separation: Syllables are generally divided between vowels. (e.g., com-pu-ta-ri-za-bais)
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Separation: Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority, with less sonorous consonants moving to the following syllable. (e.g., com-pu - 'p' is less sonorous than 'u')
• Rule 3: Digraph Preservation: Digraphs (like 'rz') are generally kept together within a syllable if they represent a single phoneme. (e.g., com-pu-ta-riz).
• Rule 4: Penultimate Stress: Words ending in vowels (excluding -n, -s) are stressed on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "-rz-" cluster is a potential point of variation, but is generally treated as a single unit in syllabification due to its pronunciation. The verb conjugation adds complexity, but doesn't alter the core syllabification rules.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

As noted, the pronunciation of 'z' varies between Spain (/θ/) and Latin America (/s/). This doesn't affect the syllable division, only the phonetic realization.
