Hyphenation ofinformatieverstrekkende

Linguistic Analysis of "informatieverstrekkende" (Dutch)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "informatieverstrekkende" is a complex Dutch adjective meaning "informative," "providing information," or "informative-providing." It's formed through compounding and derivation, typical of Dutch morphology. Pronunciation involves a series of vowel and consonant clusters, requiring careful syllabification.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid splitting diphthongs or consonant clusters where possible, the word breaks down as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: in- (Latin origin, negating or intensifying function, though here it's part of the compounding process)
• Root: formatie (Dutch, from Latin formatio - formation, shaping) - related to 'information'
• Interfix: -ver- (Dutch, often used in verb formation, here linking 'informatie' to 'strekken')
• Root: strek (Dutch, meaning 'stretch', 'extend', 'provide')
• Suffix: -kend (Dutch, present participle suffix, forming an adjective indicating an action in progress or a quality)

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable: ver-strek-kende. Dutch stress is generally on the penultimate or antepenultimate syllable, with longer words tending towards antepenultimate stress.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɪnfɔrmaˈtivərstʁɛkəndə/

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for some flexibility in syllabification, particularly with consonant clusters. However, the proposed division adheres to the principle of maximizing onsets (consonant-vowel syllables).

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions solely as an adjective. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its role within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Providing information; informative.
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Translation: Informative, information-providing
• Synonyms: informatief, gegevensverstrekkend
• Antonyms: misleidend, onvolledig
• Examples: "Een informatieve bron." (An informative source.) "De informatieverstrekkende website." (The information-providing website.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• 'televisiekijken' (to watch television): te-le-vi-sie-kij-ken. Similar structure with compounding. Stress on 'sie'.
• 'arbeidsvoorwaarden' (working conditions): ar-beids-voor-waar-den. Similar long word structure, stress on 'waar'.
• 'rechtsbijstandverlening' (legal assistance): rechts-bij-stand-ver-le-ning. Again, compounding, stress on 'ver'.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying length and morphological structure of each word. The general rule of antepenultimate stress applies to "informatieverstrekkende" due to its length.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel-centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Onset Maximization: Consonants are assigned to the following vowel to create onsets whenever possible.
• Avoidance of Diphthong Splitting: Diphthongs (like 'ie' in 'informatie') are kept within a single syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Complex consonant clusters are divided based on sonority (more sonorous sounds tend to be syllable nuclei).

11. Special Considerations:

The 'ver-' interfix can sometimes be tricky, but in this case, it's clearly part of the compound structure and is syllabified with the following root.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist in Dutch, but they don't significantly alter the syllabification.
