Hyphenation ofinterruptiemicrofoon

Dutch Word Analysis: interruptiemicrofoon

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "interruptiemicrofoon" (interruption microphone) is a compound noun in Dutch. It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the penultimate syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The pronunciation involves several consonant clusters, typical of Dutch.

2. Syllable Division:

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

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: inter- (Latin, meaning "between" or "among") - Function: Creates a compound word indicating an action or state relating to interruption.
• Root: ruptie- (from ruptuur - Dutch for rupture, break, or interruption; ultimately from Latin ruptura) - Function: Core meaning relating to interruption.
• Suffix: -microfoon (Dutch, meaning "microphone") - Function: Specifies the type of device. This is a compound itself, micro- (Greek, small) + foon (Dutch, sound).

4. Stress Identification:

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɪn.tə.rʌp.ti.ə.mi.kro.foːn/

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for relatively flexible syllable division within compounds, but the goal is to maintain pronounceability. The division presented here is the most common and natural.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A specialized microphone designed to pick up sounds during an interruption or to record interruptions.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (de interruptiemicrofoon)
• Translation: Interruption microphone
• Synonyms: None readily available; it's a very specific term.
• Antonyms: N/A
• Examples:
  • "De politie gebruikte een interruptiemicrofoon om het gesprek af te luisteren." (The police used an interruption microphone to eavesdrop on the conversation.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• televisietoestel (television set): te-le-vi-si-e-toes-tel. Similar compound structure, penultimate stress.
• computerprogramma (computer program): com-pu-ter-pro-gram-ma. Again, compound, penultimate stress.
• radiocommunicatie (radio communication): ra-di-o-com-mu-ni-ca-tie. Compound, penultimate stress.

The syllable division in "interruptiemicrofoon" follows the same pattern as these words: breaking down the compound into its constituent parts and applying the general penultimate stress rule. The presence of consonant clusters doesn't alter the basic syllabic structure.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Onset-Rime Structure: Syllables are structured around an onset (consonants before the vowel) and a rime (vowel and any following consonants).
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce.
• Penultimate Stress: Dutch generally stresses the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ie" diphthong is treated as a single vowel sound for syllabification purposes. The consonant clusters "pt" and "kr" are maintained within syllables.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Dutch pronunciation are minimal regarding syllable division. However, the vowel quality in "ruptie" might vary slightly between regions.
