9. Phonological Comparison:

• bedrijfsleiding: /bə.drɛi̯fs.lɛi.dɪŋ/ - Syllable division: be-drijfs-lei-ding. Similar structure, stress on the second syllable.
• verkoopstrategie: /vər.koop.stra.te.ɣi/ - Syllable division: ver-koop-stra-te-gie. Similar vowel patterns and consonant clusters.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific vowel and consonant sequences in each word. Dutch syllabification prioritizes maximizing open syllables (syllables ending in a vowel).

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound (the vowel peak).
• Rule 2: Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally split to create syllables, prioritizing the preservation of onsets (consonants at the beginning of a syllable).
• Rule 3: Maximizing Open Syllables: Dutch tends to favor open syllables over closed syllables when possible.
• Rule 4: Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified as if they were separate words joined together.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ng" cluster in "-leiding" is a common feature of Dutch and is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes. The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a characteristic of Dutch pronunciation, but doesn't affect the syllabification itself.
