Hyphenation ofкататермометрический

Linguistic Analysis of "кататермометрический" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "кататермометрический" (katatermometricheskiy) is a complex adjective meaning "catathermometric" (relating to the measurement of temperature with increasing altitude). It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable.

2. Syllable Division:

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

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ката- (kata-): Prefix of Greek origin (κατά - "down, against"). Functions to indicate a direction or manner.
• термо- (termo-): Root of Greek origin (θέρμη - "heat"). Relates to temperature.
• метр- (metr-): Root of Greek origin (μέτρον - "measure"). Relates to measurement.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kətɐˈtʲerəmɐˈmʲetrʲɪt͡ɕɪskʲɪj/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification generally avoids leaving a single consonant at the beginning of a syllable. This is observed in the division of "термо" as "тер-мо" rather than "тр-мо". The palatalization of consonants before 'и' is also a key feature.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily an adjective. While it can theoretically be used to form a noun (referring to a catathermometer), the syllabification remains consistent.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Относящийся к измерению температуры с высотой (Relating to the measurement of temperature with altitude).
• Translation: Catathermometric
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: None readily available; it's a highly specific technical term.
• Antonyms: Адиабатический (adiabatic) - relating to temperature changes without heat exchange.
• Examples:
  • "кататермометрический градиент" (catathermometric gradient)
  • "кататермометрический зонд" (catathermometric probe)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• термометр (termometr): тер-мо-метр /tʲɪrɐˈmʲetr/ - Similar structure with "термо-", demonstrating consistent syllabification.
• барометрический (barometricheskiy): ба-ро-ме-три́-че-ский /bɐrɐˈmʲetrʲɪt͡ɕɪskʲɪj/ - Similar suffixation and stress pattern.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel sounds in unstressed syllables. This wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division.

11. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each syllable generally contains a vowel.
• Consonant Cluster Avoidance: Consonant clusters are broken in a way that minimizes single-consonant syllables.
