Hyphenation ofresonantiefrequentie

Linguistic Analysis of "resonantiefrequentie" (Dutch)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "resonantiefrequentie" is a compound noun in Dutch, meaning "resonance frequency". It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The 'ie' diphthong is a key feature of Dutch pronunciation.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Dutch syllabification rules, which generally favor open syllables (CV structure) and avoid breaking up diphthongs, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• resonantie-: Prefix/Root - Derived from the French "résonance" (Latin "resonantia"), meaning "resonance". Functions as the core concept.
• frequentie: Root - Derived from the French "fréquence" (Latin "frequentia"), meaning "frequency". Functions as the descriptor.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: "fre-". While Dutch stress is often on the first syllable of a word, compound words like this often have stress on the penultimate syllable.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/re.zo.naːn.ti.e.fre.kweːn.si/

6. Edge Case Review:

Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, but these are generally resolved within a syllable. The 'nt' cluster in "resonantie" is a typical example. The 'ie' diphthong is always treated as a single syllable unit.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Resonantiefrequentie" is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function (as it's a fixed compound).

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The natural frequency at which an object or system vibrates with the greatest amplitude.
• Translation: Resonance frequency (English)
• Grammatical Category: Noun (de resonantiefrequentie)
• Synonyms: Eigenfrequentie (own frequency)
• Antonyms: N/A (frequency is a measurable property)
• Examples:
  • "De resonantiefrequentie van de brug is berekend." (The resonance frequency of the bridge was calculated.)
  • "Het geluid veroorzaakte een resonantiefrequentie in het glas." (The sound caused a resonance frequency in the glass.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "universiteit" (university): u-ni-ver-si-teit /y.ni.vər.si.ˈtɛit/ - Similar syllable structure with alternating consonant-vowel patterns. Stress on the penultimate syllable.
• "communicatie" (communication): co-mu-ni-ca-tie /ko.my.ni.ˈka.ti/ - Similar vowel patterns and consonant clusters. Stress on the antepenultimate syllable.
• "identificatie" (identification): i-den-ti-fi-ca-tie /i.dɛn.ti.fi.ˈka.ti/ - Similar suffix "-tie" and consonant clusters. Stress on the penultimate syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the length and structure of the root morphemes. Longer roots tend to shift the stress towards the end of the word.

10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Dutch favors open syllables (CV). This is applied throughout the word.
• Rule 2: Diphthong Integrity: Diphthongs like "ie" are treated as single syllable nuclei.
• Rule 3: Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex.
• Rule 4: Compound Word Stress: Compound words often have stress on the penultimate syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word is a key consideration. The syllabification of each component ("resonantie" and "frequentie") follows standard Dutch rules, and their combination maintains those patterns.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist in Dutch, but these do not significantly alter the syllabification. Some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel length in unstressed syllables.
