Linguistic Analysis of "kredietoverschrijding" (Dutch)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "kredietoverschrijding" (credit exceeding) is a complex noun in Dutch. Its pronunciation involves a mix of consonant clusters and vowel sounds typical of the language. The 'g' is a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/, and 'sch' represents /sx/. The 'ie' is a diphthong /iə/.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding single-letter syllables, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: over- (Dutch, meaning 'over', 'exceeding', 'too much').
• Root: krediet- (Dutch, from French crédit, ultimately from Latin creditum - 'credit', 'trust').
• Suffix: -schrijding (Dutch, from schrijven 'to write', but here functioning as a noun-forming suffix indicating exceeding a limit. Related to the idea of 'writing beyond' a certain amount).
