Hyphenation ofinformatievoorziening

Dutch Word Analysis: informatievoorziening

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "informatievoorziening" is a complex Dutch noun meaning "information provision." It's a compound word, typical of Dutch, built from several morphemes. Pronunciation involves a mix of vowel qualities and consonant clusters common in Dutch.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid splitting diphthongs or consonant clusters where possible, the division is as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: in- (Latin origin, prefix meaning 'not' or 'within', here functioning as an intensifier or part of the root)
• Root: formatie (Latin origin, from formare 'to form', meaning 'formation')
• Suffix: -voorziening (Dutch suffix, from voorzien 'to provide', with -ing forming a noun indicating the act of providing)

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the third syllable: voor. Dutch stress is generally on the penultimate syllable, but compound words often have stress on an earlier syllable, particularly the root of the first component.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɪn.fɔr.ma.ˈti.ə.fɔrˈzi.nɪŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch syllabification can be tricky with consonant clusters. The 'voor' segment is a common example where the vowel is followed by a cluster.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. While it's formed from a verb (voorzien), the -ing suffix nominalizes it. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its function as a noun.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act or process of providing information.
• Translation: Information provision
• Grammatical Category: Noun (het)
• Synonyms: informatieverstrekking, informatie-aanbod
• Antonyms: informatie-achterhouding
• Examples: "De informatievoorziening was onduidelijk." (The information provision was unclear.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• communicatie: /kɔ.my.ni.ˈka.tsi.ə/ - Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable of the root.
• organisatie: /ɔr.ɡa.ni.ˈsa.tsi.ə/ - Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable of the root.
• realisatie: /re.a.li.ˈsa.tsi.ə/ - Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable of the root.

The differences lie in the initial consonant clusters and vowel qualities, but the overall syllable structure and stress patterns are consistent with Dutch compound nouns.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist in Dutch, but they generally don't affect syllable division. Some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel in unstressed syllables.

11. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-centric Syllabification: Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily separable (e.g., a single consonant between vowels).
• Diphthong Rule: Diphthongs are treated as a single vowel sound within a syllable.
• Compound Word Stress: Stress tends to fall on the root of the first component in compound words.
