Hyphenation ofhaalbaarheidsstudie

Linguistic Analysis of "haalbaarheidsstudie" (Dutch)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "haalbaarheidsstudie" is a compound noun in Dutch, meaning "feasibility study." It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives a slight emphasis. The 'aa' digraphs are pronounced as long /a:/ vowels. The 'ei' is pronounced as /ɛi/.

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:

• haalbaar-: Root, derived from the verb "halen" (to fetch, to achieve) + the suffix "-baar" (possible, able to). Origin: Germanic. Morphological function: Adjectival formation.
• -heids-: Suffix, forming a noun from an adjective. Origin: Germanic. Morphological function: Nominalization.
• -studie: Root, borrowed from French "étude" (study). Origin: French (ultimately Latin "studium"). Morphological function: Noun.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the "baar" syllable within "haalbaarheids". Dutch stress is often on the penultimate syllable, but compound words can have multiple stress points. In this case, "baar" is the most prominent.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈɦaːlbaːrɦɛitsstʏdi/

6. Edge Case Review:

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

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: haalbaarheidsstudie
• Part of Speech: Noun
• Definitions:
  • "A study to determine the practicality or feasibility of a proposed project or plan."
  • Translation: Feasibility study
• Synonyms: levensvatbaarheidsstudie (viability study)
• Antonyms: None directly applicable.
• Examples:
  • "De haalbaarheidsstudie wees uit dat het project te duur was." (The feasibility study showed that the project was too expensive.)
  • "Er is een haalbaarheidsstudie gestart om de mogelijkheden te onderzoeken." (A feasibility study has been started to explore the possibilities.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• werkloosheid (unemployment): wer-kloos-heid. Similar structure with compound elements and suffixes. Stress on "loos".
• verantwoordelijkheid (responsibility): ver-ant-woor-de-lijk-heid. Longer compound, but follows similar syllabification principles. Stress on "woor".
• mogelijkheid (possibility): mo-ge-lijk-heid. Shorter, but demonstrates the "-heid" suffix and stress pattern. Stress on "lijk".

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying lengths and complexities of the root words and the presence of different vowel combinations. The consistent application of open syllable preference and avoidance of breaking up consonant clusters explains the variations.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Syllables tend to end in vowels. (Applied throughout)
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Avoidance: Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are complex. (Applied to "baarheids")
• Rule 3: Compound Word Syllabification: Each component of a compound word is syllabified separately. (Applied to the entire word)

11. Special Considerations:

The 'aa' digraph requires recognition as a single vowel sound for accurate syllabification. The 'ei' digraph also needs to be treated as a single unit.
