Linguistic Analysis of "противопоставлявшейся" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "противопоставлявшейся" is a past active participle of the verb "противопоставлять" (to oppose, to contrast). It's a relatively long word with a complex morphological structure. Pronunciation involves several consonant clusters and vowel reductions typical of Russian.

2. Syllable Division:

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

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: про- (pro-) - Slavic origin, meaning "against," "counter," "forward."
• Root: -постав- (-postav-) - Slavic origin, related to "ставить" (to put, to place).
• Suffixes: -о- (-o-) - linking vowel, common in Russian verb formation; -ля- (-lya-) - suffix forming active participles; -вш- (-vsh-) - suffix indicating past tense; -ейш- (-eysh-) - adjectival suffix indicating quality; -ий (-iy) - adjectival ending.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: про-ти-во-по-ста́в-ля-вше-йся.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/prətʲɪvəpəstlɐˈvʲævʂɨj ˈsʲæ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification can be tricky with consonant clusters. The rule of maximizing open syllables is key. The 'вш' cluster is often treated as a single unit in pronunciation, but for syllabification, it's split due to the vowel following it.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is an adjective, specifically a past active participle used adjectivally. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Opposing, contrasting, being opposed.
• Part of Speech: Adjective (Past Active Participle)
• Translation: Opposing, being contrasted.
• Synonyms: противоположенный (proti-vo-po-lo-zhen-nyy) - opposite, различный (ra-zlich-nyy) - different.
• Antonyms: одинаковый (o-di-na-ko-vyy) - identical, похожий (po-kho-zhiy) - similar.
• Examples:
  • "Противопоставлявшейся аргумент был слабым." (The opposing argument was weak.)
  • "Он представлял точку зрения, противопоставлявшуюся общепринятой." (He presented a point of view that contrasted with the generally accepted one.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• противоположный (pro-ti-vo-po-lozh-nyy): "opposite" - Syllable division is similar, demonstrating the consistent application of rules for prefixes and root structures.
• поставлявшийся (po-stav-lyav-shiysya): "being supplied" - Shares the root "став" and similar suffixes, showing consistent syllabification patterns.
• проставлявшийся (pro-stav-lyav-shiysya): "being checked" - Similar prefix and root, highlighting the consistent application of syllabification rules. The difference in the final suffix doesn't significantly alter the syllable division process.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Vowel reduction (акáнье) is common in unstressed syllables. The 'о' in "противопоставлявшейся" may be reduced to a schwa /ə/ in casual speech. This doesn't affect the syllabification, but it does impact pronunciation.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Russian favors open syllables (ending in a vowel).
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless breaking them creates a more natural open syllable structure.
• Rule 3: Vowel-Consonant-Vowel: Syllables are often formed around vowel-consonant-vowel sequences.
• Rule 4: Prefix/Root/Suffix Boundaries: Morphemic boundaries often coincide with syllable boundaries.
