Hyphenation ofautomobilizar-vos-eis

Analysis of "automobilizar-vos-eis" (Portuguese)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "automobilizar-vos-eis" is a complex verb form in Portuguese, specifically the second-person plural imperative. It combines the verb root "automobilizar" (to mobilize) with the pronoun enclitic "vos" (you, plural) and the final particle "eis" (archaic imperative marker). Pronunciation will follow standard Portuguese rules, with attention to nasal vowels and stress placement.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Portuguese syllabification rules, the word breaks down as follows (using only original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: auto- (Greek origin, meaning "self"). Function: Forms compound words.
• Root: mobilizar (Latin mobilis - movable). Function: Core meaning of the verb.
• Suffix: -izar (Latin -izare). Function: Verb-forming suffix.
• Enclitic Pronoun: vos (Latin vos). Function: Second-person plural object pronoun.
• Particle: eis (Old Portuguese). Function: Archaic imperative marker.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable of the verb root, "bi" in "au-to-mo-bi-li-zar". The enclitic pronoun and particle do not receive independent stress.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/aw.tu.mu.bi.li.zaɾ.vɔʃ.ejʃ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The enclitic pronoun "vos" attached to the verb is a common feature in Portuguese verb conjugation, and its syllabification is straightforward. The archaic particle "eis" is less common in modern usage but follows standard syllabification rules.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a verb in the imperative mood, second-person plural. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of the verb's tense or mood.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To mobilize (a group of people, resources, etc.).
• Translation: To mobilize (English)
• Grammatical Category: Verb
• Synonyms: organizar, preparar, ativar (organize, prepare, activate)
• Antonyms: desmobilizar, inibir (demobilize, inhibit)
• Examples:
  • "Automobilizai-vos para a defesa da cidade!" (Mobilize yourselves for the defense of the city!)
  • "O governo tentou automobilizar a população." (The government tried to mobilize the population.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• organizar: o-rga-ni-zar (similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable)
• mobilizar: mo-bi-li-zar (same root as the target word, identical stress pattern)
• capitalizar: ca-pi-ta-li-zar (similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable)

The syllable division in all these words follows the same rules: vowels generally form separate syllables, and consonant clusters are broken according to sonority. The target word's complexity arises from the enclitic pronoun and archaic particle, which are handled according to standard Portuguese rules for pronoun and particle attachment.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel Separation: Each vowel generally forms a separate syllable. (Applied throughout the word)
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority, with the more sonorous consonant typically joining the following vowel. (Applied in "mobilizar")
• Rule 3: Enclitic Pronoun Attachment: Enclitic pronouns are attached to the verb and syllabified as a continuation of the verb's syllables. (Applied to "vos")
• Rule 4: Particle Attachment: Particles are attached to the verb and syllabified as a continuation of the verb's syllables. (Applied to "eis")

11. Special Considerations:

The archaic nature of "eis" might lead to some variation in pronunciation or even omission in modern speech. However, the syllabification remains consistent even if the particle is barely pronounced.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

In some Brazilian Portuguese dialects, the "r" at the end of "mobilizar" might be vocalized (pronounced as /ʁ/), affecting the phonetic transcription but not the syllabification.
