3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The geminate 'cc' presents a slight edge case. In Italian, geminate consonants generally belong to the following syllable. The 'tr-' cluster is also a common initial consonant cluster, but doesn't pose a significant challenge to syllabification.

7. Grammatical Role:

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To wander, to roam, to dawdle, to loiter.
• Part of Speech: Verb (future tense, 3rd person plural)
• Translation: They will wander/roam/dawdle.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• cammineranno (they will walk): ca-mmi-ne-ran-no. Similar structure with a consonant cluster at the beginning and a future tense suffix.
• parleranno (they will speak): par-le-ran-no. Simpler consonant structure, but shares the future tense suffix.
• scriveranno (they will write): scri-ve-ran-no. Another example with a consonant cluster and the future tense suffix.

The key difference in "traccheggeranno" is the geminate 'cc' which influences the syllable weight and division. The other words have single consonants.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally broken up, with the first consonant joining the preceding vowel (if any) and the remaining consonants joining the following vowel.
• Rule 2: Geminate Consonants: Geminate consonants typically belong to the following syllable.
• Rule 3: Vowel Hiatus/Diphthongs: Italian generally avoids vowel hiatus, preferring diphthongs or syllable breaks. This isn't relevant in this word.
• Rule 4: Penultimate Stress: Words ending in a vowel, 'n', or 's' are generally stressed on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The geminate 'cc' is a key feature of Italian phonology and must be accounted for in the syllabification. Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter the vowel quality, but not the syllable division.
