Hyphenation ofdesautorizar-lhe-emos

Linguistic Analysis of "desautorizar-lhe-emos" (Portuguese)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "desautorizar-lhe-emos" is a complex verb form in Portuguese, specifically the future subjunctive of the verb "desautorizar" (to disauthorize) conjugated in the first person plural. Pronunciation involves a blend of vowel reduction, nasalization, and consonant articulation typical of Brazilian Portuguese (though European Portuguese pronunciation will have slight differences, primarily in vowel quality).

2. Syllable Division:

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

des-au-to-ri-zar-lhe-e-mos

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: des- (Latin dis- meaning "not, opposite of"). Morphological function: negation.
• Root: autorizar (Latin autorizare meaning "to authorize"). Morphological function: core meaning of the verb.
• Suffixes:
  • -izar (Latin -izare). Morphological function: verb formation.
  • -lhe- (Portuguese clitic pronoun, dative/indirect object). Morphological function: indicates the indirect object.
  • -emos (Portuguese inflectional suffix). Morphological function: future subjunctive, 1st person plural.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable of the root: "ri" in "des-au-to-ri-zar-lhe-e-mos". This is consistent with the general rule that words ending in vowels, 'n', or 's' are stressed on the penultimate syllable.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/dezawtuɾizaɾʎiˈɛmuʃ/ (Brazilian Portuguese)
/dɨzɐwtuɾizɐɾʎɨˈɛmuʃ/ (European Portuguese - vowel qualities differ)

6. Edge Case Review:

The clitic pronoun "lhe" attached to the verb presents a slight edge case. While it's treated as a separate syllable for syllabification, its pronunciation often blends with the preceding syllable. The 'r' in 'zar' is often pronounced as a rhotic approximant /ɾ/.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: desautorizar-lhe-emos
• Translation: We will disauthorize it/him/her.
• Part of Speech: Verb (Future Subjunctive)
• Synonyms: invalidar-lhe-emos, vetar-lhe-emos
• Antonyms: autorizar-lhe-emos
• Examples:
  • "Se a proposta for inaceitável, desautorizar-lhe-emos." (If the proposal is unacceptable, we will disauthorize it.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• autorizar: au-to-ri-zar (3 syllables) - Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• desconfiar: des-con-fi-ar (4 syllables) - Similar prefix 'des-', stress pattern follows the penultimate syllable rule.
• analisar: a-na-li-sar (4 syllables) - Similar suffix '-izar', stress on the penultimate syllable.

The differences in syllable count are due to the addition of the clitic pronoun "lhe" and the inflectional suffix "-emos" in "desautorizar-lhe-emos".

Detailed Syllable Analysis:

Division Rules Applied:

1. Open Syllable Rule: Syllables ending in vowels are open.
2. Closed Syllable Rule: Syllables ending in consonants are closed.
3. Diphthong Rule: Two vowels together forming a single sound constitute a diphthong and are part of the same syllable.
4. Clitic Pronoun Rule: Clitic pronouns are treated as separate syllables, even if phonetically blended.

Special Considerations:

• The pronunciation of 'r' as /ɾ/ or /ʁ/ varies regionally.
• Vowel reduction is common in unstressed syllables.
• The blending of "lhe" with the preceding syllable is a common phonetic phenomenon.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

European Portuguese pronunciation differs primarily in vowel quality, with more closed vowels. This doesn't significantly alter the syllabification.
