Dutch Word Analysis: informatieverspreiding

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word informatieverspreiding (information dissemination) is a complex noun formed through compounding and derivation. Its pronunciation involves a series of vowel and consonant clusters typical of Dutch, requiring careful syllabification.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, the word breaks down as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output). The primary principle is maximizing onsets, meaning consonants generally attach to the following vowel.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: in- (Latin origin, negating or intensifying function, though here it's part of the compound)
• Root: formatie (formation, from Latin formatio - shaping, forming)
• Suffix: -ver- (Dutch, intensifier, creating a verb-like element within the compound)
• Suffix: -spreiding (spreading, dissemination, from spreiden - to spread)

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable: in-for-ma-tie-ver-sprei-ding.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɪnfɔrmaˈtɪəvərˌspreːidɪŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, and the word contains several. Syllabification must account for these without violating sonority principles. The 'ver' element is often treated as a single unit within compounds.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. While it's derived from verbal elements, it functions as a single nominal concept. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its role as a noun.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act of distributing or disseminating information.
• Translation: Information dissemination
• Grammatical Category: Noun (het)
• Synonyms: informatieverdeling, informatievoorziening
• Antonyms: informatieachterhouding, informatiecensuur
• Examples: "De informatieverspreiding via sociale media is enorm." (Information dissemination via social media is enormous.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• 'communicatie' (communication): com-mu-ni-ca-tie. Similar vowel structure and consonant clusters. Stress on the antepenultimate syllable.
• 'organisatie' (organization): or-ga-ni-sa-tie. Similar suffix structure (-tie) and stress pattern.
• 'administratie' (administration): ad-mi-ni-stra-tie. Again, similar suffix and stress. The key difference is the length of the initial consonant cluster.

10. Syllable Analysis Details:

Here's a breakdown of each syllable, applying Dutch syllabification rules:

• in-: Open syllable. Rule: Initial syllable, vowel follows. Exception: 'in-' can sometimes be a prefix, but here it's integrated into the compound.
• for-: Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows consonant.
• ma-: Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows consonant.
• tie-: Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster ends the syllable. Exception: 'tie' is a common suffix, often forming a closed syllable.
• ver-: Open syllable. Rule: 'ver-' functions as a unit within the compound.
• sprei-: Open syllable. Rule: Vowel follows consonant.
• ding-: Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster ends the syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ver-' element is a potential point of variation. Some analyses might treat 'verspreiding' as a single unit, but separating it maintains consistency with other compound structures.

12. Division Rules:

• Maximize Onsets: Consonants generally attach to the following vowel.
• Closed Syllables: Syllables ending in consonants are closed.
• Compound Structure: Treat integrated elements (like 'ver-') as units.
