5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʁɛʃ.plẽ.d͡ʒɨ.ˈsɛɾ.vɔʃ.ɨ.ˈmoʃ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The presence of the clitic pronoun "vos" attached to the verb is a common feature in Portuguese, and its syllabification is generally straightforward. The "e" before "mos" is often reduced to a schwa /ɨ/ in unstressed positions.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a verb in the future subjunctive mood, second-person plural. Syllabification doesn't significantly shift based on grammatical role, but stress can be affected in other verb conjugations.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: To shine brightly, to gleam, to radiate. In this specific form, it expresses a hypothetical or potential shining in the future, directed towards "you all".
• Translation: You all will shine/gleam.
• Part of Speech: Verb (Future Subjunctive)
• Synonyms: brilhar, cintilar, fulgir
• Antonyms: obscurecer, apagar
• Examples:
  • "Se vocês se esforçarem, resplendecer-vos-emos com orgulho." (If you all strive, we will shine with pride towards you all.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• cantaríamos: can-ta-rí-a-mos - Similar syllable structure, with vowel-consonant alternation. Stress on the penultimate syllable.
• compreenderíamos: com-pre-en-de-rí-a-mos - More complex, with diphthongs and consonant clusters. Stress on the antepenultimate syllable.
• esplendorosamente: es-plen-dor-o-sa-men-te - Shares the "splen-" root. Stress on the antepenultimate syllable.

The differences in syllable division arise from the varying consonant clusters and vowel sequences in each word. "resplendecer-vos-emos" has a relatively straightforward structure compared to "compreenderíamos".

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Consonant (VC): Syllables are divided between vowels and consonants (e.g., re-splen).
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster (CC): When a consonant cluster occurs between vowels, the cluster is usually split, keeping affricates and digraphs together (e.g., cer-vos).
• Rule 3: Diphthongs & Triphthongs: Diphthongs and triphthongs are generally kept within the same syllable (e.g., plen-de).
• Rule 4: Pronoun Clitics: Pronoun clitics are generally treated as a single syllable unit attached to the verb (e.g., vos-e).

11. Special Considerations:

The "r" at the beginning of "resplendecer" is often pronounced as a uvular fricative /ʁ/ in European Portuguese. The "e" before "mos" is often reduced to a schwa /ɨ/. Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation may differ, with a more open vowel sound for the "e" and a different realization of the initial "r".

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Brazilian Portuguese tends to pronounce the initial "r" as an alveolar approximant /ʁ/ or /h/, and the vowel sounds may be more open. This doesn't significantly alter the syllable division, but it affects the phonetic realization.
