2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Root: tecn- (from Latin technē, Greek téchnē), meaning "art, skill, craft".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/te.kni.tʃit.tsa.tsiˈo.ne/

6. Edge Case Review:

The presence of the consonant cluster "cz" requires careful consideration. Italian allows consonant clusters within syllables, but there are limits. The "cz" cluster is permissible and is treated as a single unit within the syllable ci-zza.

7. Grammatical Role:

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Translation: Technicalization, technicization.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine)
• Synonyms: modernizzazione (modernization), specializzazione (specialization)

These words demonstrate a consistent pattern of syllabification and stress placement when ending in "-izzazione". The consonant clusters are handled similarly.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Initial Syllable: Each vowel generally begins a new syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable as long as they are permissible in Italian phonotactics.
• Rule 3: Penultimate Stress: Italian generally stresses the penultimate syllable unless otherwise indicated by an accent mark.
• Rule 4: Suffix Separation: Suffixes are generally separated into their own syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The "cz" cluster is a relatively uncommon but acceptable cluster in Italian, and its treatment within the syllable is consistent with the language's phonological rules. No major exceptions were encountered.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight differences in vowel quality or consonant articulation, but these would not significantly alter the syllabification.
