Hyphenation ofмикрокристаллическая

Linguistic Analysis of "микрокристаллическая" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "микрокристаллическая" (mikrokristallicheskaya) is a complex adjective meaning "microcrystalline." It's formed through compounding and suffixation. Pronunciation involves careful attention to vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, a common feature of Russian.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Russian syllabification rules, the word divides as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: микро- (mikro-) - From Greek μικρός (mikrós) meaning "small." Function: Denotes small size.
• Root: кристал- (kristal-) - From Greek κρύσταλλος (krýstallos) meaning "ice, crystal." Function: Core meaning related to crystals.
• Suffix: -лическ- (-lichesk-) - A suffix forming qualitative adjectives. Origin: Slavic. Function: Adjectival formation.
• Suffix: -ая (-aya) - Feminine singular adjectival ending. Origin: Slavic. Function: Grammatical gender and number marking.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the third syllable: ми-кро-кри-ста́л-личе-ская.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/mʲɪkrokrʲɪstalʲɪˈt͡ɕeskəjə/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification generally follows the principle of maximizing onsets. Consonant clusters are usually broken up to create syllables with a single consonant onset. Vowel reduction is significant in unstressed syllables, impacting the phonetic realization but not the orthographic syllable division.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily an adjective. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Relating to or consisting of microscopic crystals.
• Translation: Microcrystalline
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: мелкокристаллическая (melkokristallicheskaya - finely crystalline)
• Antonyms: макрокристаллическая (makrokristallicheskaya - macrocrystalline)
• Examples:
  • "Микрокристаллическая структура" (Mikrokristallicheskaya struktura) - Microcrystalline structure.
  • "Микрокристаллическая цеолит" (Mikrokristallicheskaya t͡sʲeolit) - Microcrystalline zeolite.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• электрическая (elektricheskaya): э-лек-три-че-ская. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• математическая (matematicheskaya): ма-те-ма-ти-че-ская. Similar suffixation and stress pattern.
• поликристаллическая (polikristallicheskaya): по-ли-кри-стал-ли-че-ская. Demonstrates the compounding pattern with "кристаллическая".

10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables are formed to maximize sonority, with a peak (nucleus) typically being a vowel.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken up, favoring syllables with a single consonant onset.
• Rule 3: Vowel-Based Division: Syllables are generally divided around vowels.
• Rule 4: Morphological Boundaries: Morpheme boundaries often coincide with syllable boundaries, but this is not a strict rule.

11. Special Considerations:

The palatalization of consonants before 'е' (as in 'лическая') influences pronunciation but doesn't alter the syllable division. Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a key phonetic feature but doesn't affect the orthographic syllable division.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, slight variations in vowel quality in unstressed syllables may occur depending on regional accents. These variations do not affect the syllable division.
