3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Root: termin- (Latin terminus, meaning "end, limit, boundary"). This forms the core meaning of "determination."

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˌdɛt.ter.miˈni.sti.ke/

6. Edge Case Review:

Italian syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels. This rule is followed here. The presence of the double consonant 'tt' in 'deterministiche' is typical and doesn't create an unusual syllabic structure.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Deterministiche" functions as an adjective. The syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its use in a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Relating to or governed by determinism; predictable and inevitable.
• Translation: Deterministic (feminine plural)
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: predeterminate, inevitabili (inevitable)
• Antonyms: casuali (random), indeterministiche (indeterministic)
• Examples:
  • "Le leggi della fisica sono deterministiche." (The laws of physics are deterministic.)
  • "Le sue azioni erano deterministiche." (His actions were deterministic.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• statistiche: /staˈti.sti.ke/ - Syllable division: sta-ti-sti-che. Similar structure with a consonant cluster. Stress on the penultimate syllable.
• pratiche: /ˈpra.ti.ke/ - Syllable division: pra-ti-che. Simpler structure, but shares the final "-iche" suffix. Stress on the first syllable.
• economiche: /e.koˈno.mi.ke/ - Syllable division: e-co-no-mi-che. Similar suffix and vowel structure. Stress on the antepenultimate syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying number of syllables and the weight of the syllables. "Deterministiche" has more syllables and a heavier penultimate syllable, attracting the stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable (e.g., ter).
• Rule 2: Vowel-Consonant-Vowel: Syllables are typically divided between vowels (e.g., de-ter).
• Rule 3: Penultimate Stress: In words ending in a vowel, stress usually falls on the penultimate syllable.
• Rule 4: Avoid Single Intervocalic Consonant: Italian avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels, grouping it with the following vowel.

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and the presence of the 'tt' cluster require careful application of the syllable division rules. No major exceptions are present.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they wouldn't significantly alter the syllabification.
