Hyphenation ofinformatieprogramma

Dutch Word Analysis: informatieprogramma

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "informatieprogramma" is a compound noun in Dutch, meaning "information program". It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the penultimate syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The 'g' is a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/, and the 'ie' is a diphthong /iə/.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, which generally favor open syllables (CV) 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:

• Prefix: in- (Latin, meaning 'not' or 'into', here functioning as an intensifying prefix)
• Root: formatie (Latin formare 'to form', denoting the creation or structuring of something)
• Suffix: -programma (Greek programma 'writing, that which is written', denoting a planned series of events or actions)

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: pro-gram-ma. Dutch stress is generally penultimate, but compound words can exhibit secondary stresses.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɪn.fɔr.ma.ti.ə.pro.ɣram.ma/

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for some flexibility in compound word stress, but the penultimate stress is the most common and natural. The 'ti' sequence is a common syllable onset in Dutch and doesn't present a significant challenge.

7. Grammatical Role:

"informatieprogramma" functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical role within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A planned series of information or a program designed to convey information.
• Translation: Information program
• Grammatical Category: Noun (de)
• Synonyms: voorlichtingsprogramma (public information program), educatief programma (educational program)
• Antonyms: desinformatiecampagne (disinformation campaign)

  • "We hebben een informatieprogramma ontwikkeld voor nieuwe medewerkers." (We have developed an information program for new employees.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• computerprogramma: com-pu-ter-pro-gram-ma. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• radio programma: ra-di-o pro-gram-ma. Similar stress pattern and syllable structure.
• televisieprogramma: te-le-vi-sie-pro-gram-ma. Longer, but maintains the stress on the penultimate syllable of the 'programma' component. The differences arise from the initial components, but the core 'programma' syllable division remains consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Dutch prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
• Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables: Dutch generally avoids syllables consisting of a single vowel.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ie' diphthong is always considered a single syllable unit. The 'g' sound can be pronounced differently in different regions of the Netherlands and Belgium, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.
