3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kwali-ficatie-pro-fiel
  • kwali-: Likely a shortened form related to 'kwaliteit' (quality), though not a directly separable prefix. Origin: Germanic. Function: Part of the root.
  • -ficatie: Suffix derived from Latin '-ficatio' (making, doing). Function: Nominalization, turning a verb-like concept into a noun.
  • pro-: Prefix meaning 'for' or 'in favor of'. Origin: Latin 'pro'. Function: Modifies the following element.
  • -fiel: Root relating to 'field' or 'profile'. Origin: French 'profil', ultimately from Latin 'profilus'. Function: Core meaning of the compound.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kʋa.li.fiˈka.tsi.ə.pro.fiːl/

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 open syllables.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification doesn't significantly shift with different grammatical roles, as Dutch relies more on word order and function words for grammatical indication.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A detailed description of the qualifications, skills, and experience required for a specific job or role.
• English Translation: Qualification profile
• Grammatical Category: Noun (het kwalificatieprofiel)

• Examples:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• kwaliteit (quality): /kʋa.liˈtɛit/ - Syllable division: kwa-li-teit. Similar initial 'kw' cluster and 'li' syllable. Stress on the second syllable.
• profiel (profile): /pro.fiːl/ - Syllable division: pro-fiel. Shares the 'fiel' syllable. Stress on the first syllable.
• specificatie (specification): /spɛ.si.fiˈka.tsi/ - Syllable division: spe-ci-fi-ca-tie. Contains the '-ficatie' suffix, similar to the target word. Stress on the third syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the length and structure of the words. Longer words tend to have stress further towards the end, while shorter words have stress closer to the beginning.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Dutch pronunciation exist, particularly in vowel quality. However, these variations generally don't affect the core syllabification. Some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible (e.g., 'kw' in 'kwali-').
• Open Syllable Preference: Dutch favors CV syllables. Syllable divisions are made to create open syllables where possible.
• Vowel Break: Each vowel nucleus forms the core of a syllable.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.
