4. Syllables List with IPA and Rule Explanations:

5. Syllable Division Rule Explanations:

• Italian syllable division prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they can be broken by a vowel.
• The principle of sonority applies, where more sonorous sounds (vowels, liquids) tend to be syllable nuclei.

6. Exceptions/Special Cases per Syllable:

• "rco" - The 'rc' cluster is permissible but less common than other clusters.
• "llo" - The 'll' represents a palatal lateral approximant /ʎ/ and forms a single phoneme, thus grouped within the syllable.

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

• The word is a compound, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity in stress assignment. However, the individual components retain their typical stress patterns.
• The inclusion of the English proper noun "Yellowstone" introduces a foreign phonological element.

8. Grammatical Role & Syllabification Shifts:

As a compound noun, the syllabification remains consistent. If "parco" were used independently as an adjective (e.g., "parco naturale" - natural park), the stress would remain on the first syllable.

9. Definition & Semantics:

• Part of Speech: Noun (compound noun)
• Definitions:
  • "A park located in Yellowstone."
  • Translation: "Yellowstone Park"
• Synonyms: None (as it's a specific place)
• Antonyms: None (as it's a specific place)
• Examples: "Abbiamo visitato il parcodiyellowstone l'anno scorso." (We visited Yellowstone Park last year.)

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

• The pronunciation of "Yellowstone" might vary depending on the speaker's familiarity with English pronunciation. Some speakers might attempt a more Italianized pronunciation.
• Regional variations in vowel quality are possible, but the syllable division would remain the same.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• automobile: au-to-mo-bi-le - Similar (C)V(C) structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• università: u-ni-ver-si-tà - Similar syllable structure, stress on the antepenultimate syllable.
• televisione: te-le-vi-sio-ne - Similar syllable structure, stress on the antepenultimate syllable.

The differences lie in the specific consonant clusters and vowel sequences, but the underlying principle of vowel-based syllable division remains consistent. The presence of the English name "Yellowstone" is the most significant deviation.
