8. Grammatical Role & Syllabification Shifts:

"Categorizar" as a verb has the syllabification described above. If used as a noun (though rare), the stress would remain on the penultimate syllable of the root, and the syllabification would remain the same.

9. Definition & Semantics:

• categorizar-vos-emos: We will categorize you all.
• Part of Speech: Verb (Future Subjunctive)
• Definitions: To classify, to arrange into categories.
• Translation: We will categorize you all.
• Synonyms: classificar, organizar, agrupar
• Antonyms: desorganizar, confundir
• Examples: "Se eu fosse o chefe, categorizar-vos-emos por desempenho." (If I were the boss, I would categorize you all by performance.)

10. Regional Variations:

Brazilian Portuguese tends to have a more open vowel pronunciation and a stronger 'r' sound. This doesn't significantly alter the syllabification, but it affects the phonetic realization.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• organizar-vos-emos: o-rga-ni-zar-vos-e-mos. Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable of the root.
• analisar-vos-emos: a-na-li-sar-vos-e-mos. Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable of the root.
• utilizar-vos-emos: u-ti-li-zar-vos-e-mos. Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable of the root.

The consistency in these examples demonstrates the regular application of Portuguese syllabification rules. The presence of the clitic pronoun "vos" and the future subjunctive ending "-emos" consistently create separate syllables.
