Hyphenation ofметалингвистическому

Linguistic Analysis of "металингвистическому" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "металингвистическому" is a complex adjective in Russian, derived from the noun "металингвистика" (metalinguistics). It means "metalinguistic" (in the dative singular case, masculine/neuter). The pronunciation involves a series of consonant clusters and vowel reductions typical of Russian.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Russian syllabification rules, which prioritize the open syllable principle (attempting to create syllables with vowels as nuclei), the word is divided as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ме́та- (meta-): Prefix of Greek origin, meaning "beyond," "about," or "trans-". Functions to change the meaning of the root.
• -лингви́ст- (-lingvist-): Root, derived from the Latin "lingua" (tongue, language). Denotes the concept of language.
• -и́ческ- (-ichesk-): Suffix of Slavic origin, forming adjectives from nouns. Indicates a quality or characteristic related to the root.
• -ому (-omu): Suffix indicating the dative singular case, masculine/neuter gender. Marks grammatical function.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the syllable "-лингв-". This is determined by the grammatical structure and the typical stress patterns of Russian adjectives.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/mʲɪtəlʲɪnɡvʲɪˈstʲɪt͡ɕɪmʊ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification can be complex due to consonant clusters. The rule of "sonority sequencing" (preferring syllables with higher sonority sounds) is at play here. Vowel reduction (akan'ye/okan'ye) also affects pronunciation, but not syllabification.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is an adjective. If it were part of a verb form (which is unlikely given its structure), the stress and potentially syllabification could shift, but this is not relevant in this case.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: металингвистическому
• Translation: metalinguistic
• Part of Speech: Adjective
• Grammatical Category: Dative singular, masculine/neuter
• Synonyms: (None readily available, as it's a specialized term)
• Antonyms: (None readily available)
• Examples:
  • "Металингвистическому анализу подвергается структура языка." (The structure of the language is subjected to metalinguistic analysis.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• лингвистика (linguistics): линг-вис-ти-ка. Similar syllable structure in the root.
• метафора (metaphor): ме-та-фо-ра. Shares the "мета-" prefix, demonstrating consistent syllabification.
• полилингвист (polyglot): по-ли-линг-вист. Demonstrates how prefixes and the root "лингв-" are consistently divided.

The differences in syllable count arise from the varying lengths of the suffixes and the presence of additional morphemes.

10. Syllable Analysis & Rules Applied:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, including the rules applied:

• ме /mʲe/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel as nucleus. Potential exception: Palatalization of the consonant.
• та /tɐ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel as nucleus.
• лин /lʲɪn/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant cluster followed by vowel. Potential exception: Palatalization of the consonant.
• гви́ /ɡvʲɪ/ - Open syllable, stressed. Rule: Vowel as nucleus, stress assignment.
• сти́ /stʲɪ/ - Closed syllable, stressed. Rule: Consonant cluster followed by vowel, stress assignment.
• че /t͡ɕe/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel as nucleus.
• ско /skɐ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel as nucleus.
• му /mʊ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel as nucleus.

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and complex morphology present a challenge. The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables (akan'ye) is a significant phonetic feature but doesn't affect the syllabification based on orthography.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (akan'ye vs. okan'ye) might affect the phonetic realization of unstressed vowels, but not the syllable division.
