9. Phonological Comparison:

• "verantwoordelijkheid" (responsibility): ver-an-t-woor-de-lijk-heid. Similar complex morphology and stress on the penultimate syllable.
• "mogelijkheid" (possibility): mo-ge-lijk-heid. Shares the "-lijkheid" suffix, demonstrating consistent syllabification.

Here's a breakdown of each syllable, with rules applied:

• i-den-ti-fi-ka-ti-e-mo-ge-lijk-he-den
  • i-den: Rule: Consonant after vowel goes to the next syllable. Exception: Initial vowel always starts a syllable. /ɪ/ - /dɛn/
  • ti-fi: Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel. /tɪ/ - /fi/
  • ka-ti: Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel. /ka/ - /ti/
  • e-mo: Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel. /ə/ - /mo/
  • ge-lijk: Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel. /ɣə/ - /lɛi̯k/
  • he-den: Rule: Vowel-consonant-vowel. /hə/ - /də(n)/

11. Special Considerations:

The "ij" digraph is treated as a single unit for syllabification, representing the diphthong /ɛi̯/. The final "-heden" is a common plural suffix and is syllabified as a unit.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Dutch pronunciation are minimal for this word, but the degree of diphthongization in "-lijk" might vary slightly.
