• Root: text- (Latin, textus meaning 'woven, connected'). Function: core meaning relating to text or structure.
• Suffix: -ualizar (Portuguese, derived from Latin -alis + -izare). Function: verb-forming suffix, creating a verb from an adjective or noun related to quality or state.

6. Syllable Breakdown with Rules & IPA:

7. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Vowel Rule: Every vowel sound generally forms a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are generally broken after the first consonant if it creates pronounceable syllables.
• Rule 3: Open vs. Closed Syllables: Syllables ending in vowels are open; syllables ending in consonants are closed.
• Rule 4: Clitic Pronoun Rule: Clitic pronouns are treated as separate syllables.

8. Exceptions & Special Cases:

• The 'lh' digraph is treated as a single phoneme and forms a syllable on its own.
• Nasal vowels (like in 'con') require consideration of the following consonant.
• Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is common.

9. Grammatical Role & Syllabification:

The word is a conjugated verb form. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of the verb's tense or mood.

10. Regional Variations:

European Portuguese tends to reduce unstressed vowels more than Brazilian Portuguese. This affects the phonetic realization of syllables like 'a' and 'á'.
