Hyphenation ofпротивопоставляющаяся

Linguistic Analysis of "противопоставляющаяся" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "противопоставляющаяся" is a present active participle of the verb "противопоставлять" (to oppose, to contrast). It's a relatively long word, typical of Russian morphology, built through extensive prefixation and suffixation. Pronunciation involves a complex interplay of vowel reduction and consonant assimilation.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Russian syllabification rules, which prioritize open syllables (ending in a vowel) whenever possible, and considering the sonority hierarchy, the word is divided as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: про- (pro-) - Slavic origin, indicates direction "against", "opposite to".
• Root: -постав- (-postav-) - Slavic origin, related to "ставить" (to put, to place).
• Interfix: -о- (-o-) - common in Russian verb formation, connecting the prefix and root.
• Suffix: -ля- (-lya-) - forms the present active participle.
• Suffix: -ющ- (-yushch-) - part of the present active participle ending.
• Suffix: -ая (-aya) - feminine singular ending of the present active participle.
• Suffix: -ся (-sya) - reflexive particle, indicating the action is performed on oneself or is reciprocal.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: про-ти-во-по-ста́в-ля-ю-ща-я-ся.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/prətʲɪvəpəstlɐˈvʲæjʊɕːɪjə/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification can be tricky with consonant clusters. The rule generally favors breaking clusters after a vowel, but the sonority of the consonants also plays a role. In this word, the clusters are handled according to standard rules.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions as an adjective, describing something that is being opposed or contrasted. The syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Opposing, contrasting, being opposed.
• Translation: Opposing, contrasting, being set against.
• Part of Speech: Adjective (present active participle)
• Synonyms: противоположенный (proti-vo-po-lo-zhen-nyy - opposite), различающийся (raz-li-cha-yu-shchi-ysya - differing)
• Antonyms: совпадающий (so-vpa-da-yu-shchiy - coinciding)
• Examples:
  • "Противопоставляющаяся точка зрения" (Pro-ti-vo-po-stav-lya-yu-shchaya-sya toch-ka zre-ni-ya) - "The opposing point of view."
  • "Противопоставляющаяся сторона" (Pro-ti-vo-po-stav-lya-yu-shchaya-sya sto-ro-na) - "The opposing side."

9. Phonological Comparison:

• поставляющая (po-stav-lya-yu-shchaya): "supplying" - Syllable division is similar, but lacks the "противо-" prefix. Stress falls on the same syllable.
• постановка (po-sta-nov-ka): "setting, staging" - Syllable division is similar to the root portion of the target word. Stress falls on the second syllable.
• противодействие (pro-ti-vo-de-yst-vi-ye): "opposition, resistance" - Shares the "противо-" prefix. Syllable division and stress patterns are comparable, demonstrating the consistent application of syllabification rules with this prefix.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Russian favors open syllables (CV). This is evident in the division between vowels.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority, generally after a vowel.
• Rule 3: Morphological Boundaries: Syllable division often respects morphemic boundaries, though this is not a strict rule.

11. Special Considerations:

Vowel reduction (akan'ye and ikan'ye) affects the pronunciation of unstressed vowels, but does not alter the syllabification based on orthography. The reflexive particle "-ся" is often treated as a separate syllable.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but these do not significantly alter the syllable division.
