Dutch Word Analysis: overschrijdingsregeling

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word overschrijdingsregeling is a complex Dutch noun. It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the penultimate syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The 'g' is a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/, and 'sch' represents /sx/.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid splitting diphthongs or consonant clusters where possible, the word breaks down as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: over- (Germanic origin, meaning 'over', 'above', 'excessive') - functions to intensify or extend the meaning of the root.
• Root: schrijd- (Germanic origin, related to schrijven 'to write', but here meaning 'exceeding', 'going beyond') - the core meaning of exceeding a limit.
• Suffix: -ings- (Dutch suffix, derived from the gerund form of a verb, functioning as a nominalizing suffix) - transforms the verb into a noun.
• Suffix: -regeling (Dutch suffix, meaning 'regulation', 'arrangement', 'scheme') - further specifies the noun as a rule or regulation.

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: over-schrij-dings-re-ge-ling. While Dutch stress is often on the first syllable, complex words like this tend to have a secondary stress pattern.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for some flexibility in syllabification, particularly with consonant clusters. However, the division presented here is the most common and phonologically justifiable.

7. Grammatical Role:
