3. Morphemic Analysis:

• classificatie-: From Latin classificatio (classification). Root: class (class) + suffix -ificatio (forming a noun of action).

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: "cie".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for some flexibility in syllabification, particularly with consonant clusters. However, the division presented here is the most common and phonologically justifiable.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a noun. As a noun, the stress pattern remains consistent.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A committee responsible for classification.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (de classificatiecommissie)
• Translation: Classification committee
• Synonyms: indelingcommissie (division committee)
• Antonyms: None directly applicable.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• universiteit: u-ni-ver-si-teit. Similar syllable structure (CV-CV-CV-CV-CV). Stress on the penultimate syllable.
• administratie: ad-mi-ni-stra-tie. Similar syllable structure (CV-CV-CV-CV-CV). Stress on the penultimate syllable.
• organisatie: or-ga-ni-sa-tie. Similar syllable structure (CV-CV-CV-CV-CV). Stress on the penultimate syllable.

These words demonstrate the common Dutch pattern of stress on the penultimate syllable and a preference for CV syllables. The length of the vowel in the stressed syllable can vary, as seen in "classificatiecommissie" vs. "universiteit".

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Dutch favors open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC). This is why "ca" is separated from "ti".
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Avoidance: Consonant clusters are generally not broken up unless they are complex or difficult to pronounce.
• Rule 3: Vowel Groupings: Diphthongs and vowel combinations are treated as a single syllable nucleus.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ie' diphthong is a common feature of Dutch and is always treated as a single syllable unit. The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries, but these do not necessarily dictate syllable boundaries.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel quality, but the syllable division remains consistent. Some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel in unstressed syllables.
