3. Morphemic Analysis:

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. The 'ns' cluster is generally treated as a single onset.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function (as it's already a derived noun).

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act of raising awareness or sensitizing.
• Translation: Sensitization action, awareness campaign.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (de)
• Synonyms: bewustwordingsactie, sensibilisatiecampagne
• Antonyms: desensibilisatieactie (desensitization action)
• Examples: "De overheid startte een sensibiliseringsactie over de gevaren van roken." (The government started a sensitization campaign about the dangers of smoking.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• 'communicatie' (communication): ko-mu-ni-ka-tie. Similar structure with multiple suffixes. Stress pattern is also penultimate.
• 'organisatie' (organization): or-ga-ni-sa-tie. Similar suffix structure (-isatie). Stress pattern is penultimate.
• 'realisatie' (realization): re-a-li-sa-tie. Similar suffix structure (-isatie). Stress pattern is penultimate.

The consistent penultimate stress in these words highlights a common pattern in Dutch noun formation with these suffixes. The syllable division rules are also consistently applied, favoring open syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are maximized within the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'ns' in 'sensibili').
• Open Syllable Preference: Dutch favors open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC).
• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'g' sound can be pronounced differently depending on the region and speaker. This doesn't affect the syllabification.
