8. Definition & Semantics:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "emperador" (em-pe-ra-dor): Similar prefix "em-", but different root and suffix. Stress on the "ra" syllable.
• "entender" (en-ten-der): Shares the "end" sequence, but different prefix and vowel sounds. Stress on the "der" syllable.
• "cantar" (can-tar): Simple verb structure, illustrating the typical Spanish vowel-consonant syllable pattern. Stress on the "tar" syllable.

The differences in syllable division and stress placement are due to the varying lengths and structures of the roots and suffixes. "Emperendengaras" has a longer, more complex root, leading to more syllables and a shifted stress pattern.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Spanish pronunciation are minimal for this word. However, the "d" between vowels might be softened or even elided in some dialects, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Consonant (VC): Syllables are typically divided after a vowel followed by a consonant (e.g., "em-pe").
• Rule 2: Consonant-Vowel (CV): Syllables are divided before a vowel preceded by a consonant (e.g., "ren-de").
• Rule 3: Diphthong/Triphthong Resolution: Diphthongs and triphthongs are treated as single vowel sounds within a syllable.
• Rule 4: Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are generally broken up, but not when they form a recognizable phoneme (e.g., "nd" remains together).
• Rule 5: Stress Placement: Stress falls on the penultimate syllable if the word ends in a vowel, 'n', or 's'.
