Dutch Word Analysis: antidopingcommissie

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "antidopingcommissie" is a compound noun in Dutch, meaning "anti-doping committee." It's pronounced with relatively straightforward vowel and consonant sounds, though the 'g' can vary between a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/ and a voiceless velar fricative /x/ depending on the region and speaker.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, which generally favor open syllables (syllables ending in a vowel) and avoid breaking up consonant clusters unless they are complex, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• anti-: Prefix (Greek origin) - meaning "against" or "opposed to."
• doping: Root (English origin, adopted into Dutch) - referring to the practice of using prohibited substances to enhance athletic performance.
• commissie: Root (French origin via Dutch) - meaning "committee."

4. Stress Identification:

Dutch stress is generally on the penultimate (second-to-last) syllable. In this case, the primary stress falls on "-mis-".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɑn.ti.do.pɪŋ.kɔ.mɪˈsi/ (Note: /ɣ/ or /x/ can be used for the 'g' sound in 'doping' and 'commissie' depending on regional pronunciation.)

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for relatively flexible syllable division within compound words. However, the principle of avoiding consonant clusters is generally followed. The 'ng' in 'doping' is treated as a single unit, preventing a syllable break between 'dop' and 'ing'.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Antidopingcommissie" functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A committee responsible for preventing and detecting doping in sports.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• voetbalclub (football club): voe-tbal-club. Similar syllable structure with compound words. Stress on the penultimate syllable.

• computerwinkel (computer store): com-pu-ter-win-kel. Another compound word with similar stress patterns.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences within each word. "Antidopingcommissie" has a longer sequence of vowels and consonants, requiring more syllable breaks.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Dutch favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). This is applied throughout the word.
• Rule 2: Avoid Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally avoided when dividing syllables. This is evident in the treatment of 'ng' in 'doping'.
• Rule 3: Penultimate Stress: The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of the 'g' sound can vary regionally. This doesn't affect the syllable division, but it does impact the phonetic realization of the word.
