Hyphenation ofinformatizar-lhes-emos

Linguistic Analysis of "informatizar-lhes-emos" (Portuguese)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "informatizar-lhes-emos" is a complex verb form in Portuguese, specifically the future subjunctive of the verb "informatizar" (to computerize, to digitize). Its pronunciation involves a blend of vowel and consonant sounds typical of European Portuguese, though Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation will differ slightly in vowel openness and nasalization.

2. Syllable Division:

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

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: in- (Latin, negating or introducing a state/action – here, introducing the action of 'forming with information')
• Root: form- (Latin forma – shape, form, information)
• Suffixes:
  • -atiz- (Portuguese verbal suffix, creating verbs from nouns or adjectives, often related to action or process. Origin is debated, potentially from Latin actare.)
  • -izar (Portuguese suffix, derived from Latin -izare, indicating the act of making or becoming)
  • -lhes- (Portuguese pronoun clitic, dative indirect object pronoun – 'to them')
  • -emos (Portuguese verbal inflectional suffix, future subjunctive, 1st person plural – 'we')

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable of the verb stem, "ti" in "in-for-ma-ti-zar". The clitic pronouns and future subjunctive ending do not receive primary stress.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/infɔɾmɐtiˈzaɾlɛʃˈɛmuʃ/ (European Portuguese)
/infɔɾmatiˈzajɾlɛʃˈɛmuʃ/ (Brazilian Portuguese - slight difference in 'r' sound and vowel openness)

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Rule 1: Syllables are formed around vowels. Each vowel (or vowel digraph) typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Rule 2: Consonant clusters are broken up if possible, but certain clusters are maintained.

7. Edge Case Review:

The presence of the clitic pronoun "lhes" attached to the verb is a common feature of Portuguese verb conjugation. Syllabification treats it as part of the verb form, but it's morphologically distinct.

8. Grammatical Role:

The word is exclusively a verb form. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of its function within a sentence (e.g., as part of a conditional clause).

9. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: Informatizar-lhes-emos
• Part of Speech: Verb (Future Subjunctive)
• Definitions:
  • "To computerize them/you (formal)."

• Examples:

10. Regional Variations:

Brazilian Portuguese tends to have more open vowels and a different realization of the 'r' sound. This affects the phonetic transcription but not the syllable division.

11. Phonological Comparison:

The syllable division in these words is consistent due to the shared morphological structure (the -izar suffix) and the application of the same syllabification rules.
