1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "informatieverstrekker" is a compound noun in Dutch, meaning "information provider." It's a relatively long word, typical of Dutch, formed by concatenating several morphemes. 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 digraphs (like 'ie'), the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: in- (Latin origin, negating or intensifying function - here, intensifying, meaning 'related to')
• Root: formatie (Latin origin, from formatio meaning 'formation, shaping') - related to 'information'
• Suffix: -ver- (Dutch, causative prefix, indicating 'to provide')
• Suffix: -strek- (Dutch, related to 'stretch, extend' - in this context, 'to deliver, to provide')
• Suffix: -ker (Dutch, agentive suffix, forming a noun denoting a person who performs the action)
