The word "grootboekinschrijving" is a compound noun in Dutch. It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The 'g' is a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/, and the 'oe' is a diphthong /œː/.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, which generally favor open syllables (CV structure) and avoid breaking up diphthongs, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• groot-: (Adjective) "large, great" - Origin: Old Dutch, Germanic root. Function: Adjectival modifier.
• boek-: (Noun) "book" - Origin: Old Dutch, Germanic root. Function: Noun, core component.

4. Stress Identification:

Dutch stress is generally on the penultimate syllable (second to last).

A secondary stress is present on "schrijf".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for some flexibility in compound word stress, but the penultimate rule is generally followed. The 'sch' cluster is a common feature and doesn't pose a syllabification issue. The diphthong 'ei' is treated as a single syllable unit.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its role within a sentence.
