Hyphenation ofcoadministrar-nos-emos

Linguistic Analysis of "coadministrar-nos-emos" (Portuguese)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "coadministrar-nos-emos" is a conjugated verb form in Portuguese, specifically the first-person plural future subjunctive of "coadministrar" (to co-administer). Pronunciation involves a complex interplay of vowel reduction, nasalization, and consonant articulation typical of Brazilian Portuguese (though European Portuguese pronunciation will differ slightly, primarily in vowel quality).

2. Syllable Division:

Following Portuguese syllabification rules, the word breaks down as follows (using only original letters): co-ad-mi-nis-trar-nos-e-mos

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: co- (Latin) - meaning "with" or "together". Function: modifies the verb's meaning to indicate joint action.
• Root: administrar (Latin administrare - from ad- "to" + ministrare "to serve") - meaning "to administer". Function: core meaning of the verb.
• Suffixes:
  • -nos (Latin) - Pronoun clitic, first-person plural ("we"). Function: indicates the subject of the verb.
  • -emos (Latin) - Future subjunctive ending. Function: indicates tense and mood.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable of the root: "trar" in "co-ad-mi-nis-trar-nos-e-mos". This is consistent with the general rule that Portuguese words are stressed on the penultimate syllable unless marked with an accent.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ko.ɐd.mi.nis.tɾɐɾ.nɔʃ.ˈe.muʃ/ (Brazilian Portuguese)
/ku.ɐð.mi.nis.tɾɐɾ.nɔʃ.ˈɛ.muʃ/ (European Portuguese - slight vowel differences)

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

7. Edge Case Review:

The presence of the clitic pronoun "-nos" attached to the verb is a common feature of Portuguese verb conjugation. Syllabification must account for this attachment. The "tr" cluster is permissible as an onset.

8. Grammatical Role:

The word is a verb form. If "coadministrar" were used as a noun (less common), the stress would likely remain on the penultimate syllable of the root ("co-ad-mi-nis-trar"), but the syllabification would be less relevant.

9. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: coadministrar-nos-emos
• Part of Speech: Verb (conjugated form)
• Definitions:
  • "We will co-administer."
  • "We shall co-administer."
• Translation: English: "We will co-administer"

10. Regional Variations:

European Portuguese tends to have more closed vowels and a different realization of nasal vowels compared to Brazilian Portuguese. This affects the phonetic transcription but generally doesn't alter the syllabification.

11. Phonological Comparison:

All four words exhibit a predominantly CV (Consonant-Vowel) syllable structure, typical of Portuguese. The complexity in "coadministrar-nos-emos" arises from the length of the root and the attached clitic pronoun, but the underlying syllable structure remains consistent with the language's phonotactic constraints.
