Hyphenation ofгидроэлектрическими

Linguistic Analysis of "гидроэлектрическими" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "гидроэлектрическими" (gidroelektricheskimi) is a complex adjective meaning "hydroelectric" (plural, instrumental case). It's formed from multiple morphemes and presents challenges in syllabification due to consonant clusters. The pronunciation involves palatalization and vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, typical of Russian.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Russian syllabification rules, which prioritize the sonority hierarchy and avoid breaking consonant clusters where possible, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: гидро- (gidro-) - From Greek "hydor" (ὕδωρ) meaning "water". Function: Denotes relation to water.
• Root: электр- (elektr-) - From Greek "elektron" (ἤλεκτρον) meaning "amber" (source of the word electricity). Function: Core meaning related to electricity.
• Suffix: -ическ- (-ichesk-) - A suffix forming adjectives from nouns, often denoting a quality or characteristic. Origin: Slavic.
• Suffix: -ими (-imi) - A suffix indicating plural instrumental case. Origin: Slavic.

4. Stress Identification:

The stress falls on the penultimate syllable: ги-дро-э-лек-три́-че-ски́-ми.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɡʲɪˈdroɪ̯elʲɪktrʲɪˈt͡sɪmʲɪ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant clusters /dr/ and /tr/ are common in Russian and are generally not broken in syllabification. The palatalization of consonants before /i/ and /e/ is crucial for accurate pronunciation. Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is also a key feature.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is an adjective. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function (as it's a derived adjective).

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Относящийся к производству электроэнергии с использованием энергии воды. (Relating to the production of electrical energy using the energy of water.)
• Translation: Hydroelectric (plural, instrumental case)
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: Водоэлектрический (vodoélektricheskiy - water-electric)
• Antonyms: Термоэлектрический (termoélektricheskiy - thermoelectric), атомный (atomnyy - atomic)
• Examples:
  • Гидроэлектрические станции обеспечивают значительную часть электроэнергии в стране. (Hydroelectric power plants provide a significant portion of electricity in the country.)
  • Мы обсуждали строительство новых гидроэлектрических комплексов. (We discussed the construction of new hydroelectric complexes.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• электричество (elektrichestvo): э-лек-три́-че-ст-во. Similar syllable structure, stress on the third syllable from the end.
• электрический (elektricheskiy): э-лек-три́-че-ский. Similar syllable structure, stress on the third syllable from the end.
• гидрология (gidrologiya): ги-дро-ло́-ги-я. Similar prefix "гидро-", but different suffix and stress pattern.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying length and morphological structure of the words. The presence of the longer suffix "-ическими" in the target word shifts the stress back.

10. Division Rules:

• Sonority Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with consonants grouped around it based on their sonority.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce.
• Morphological Boundary Rule: Syllabification respects morphemic boundaries where possible, but this is secondary to the sonority principle.

11. Special Considerations:

Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant factor in pronunciation, but doesn't affect the orthographic syllabification. The palatalization of consonants before /i/ and /e/ is crucial for accurate pronunciation.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight differences in vowel quality or consonant palatalization. However, these variations generally do not alter the syllable division.
