2. Syllable Division:

Following Russian syllabification rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters where possible, the word is divided as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: психо- (psycho-) - From Greek ψυχή (psychē) meaning "mind, soul". Functions as a combining form denoting the mental or psychological.
• Root: лингвист- (lingvist-) - From Latin lingua meaning "tongue, language". Forms the core meaning related to language.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/psʲɪxɐlʲɪnɡvʲɪˈstʲɪt͡ɕɪskəmʊ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification can be tricky with consonant clusters. The rule of maximizing onsets is applied, but vowel sounds always form syllable nuclei. The 'j' sound after consonants is considered a separate syllable onset.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is an adjective in the dative singular masculine/neuter form. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of the case or gender.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Relating to or characteristic of psycholinguistics.
• Translation: Psycholinguistic (English)
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: (None readily available as a single-word equivalent)
• Antonyms: (Difficult to define a direct antonym)
• Examples:
  • "Психолингвистическому исследованию посвящена эта книга." (This book is devoted to psycholinguistic research.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• библиотека (biblioteka): би-бли-о-те-ка /bʲɪblʲɪˈatʲɪkə/ - Similar syllable structure with vowel-consonant alternation.
• университетский (universitetskiy): у-ни-вер-си-те́т-ский /ʊnʲɪvʲɪrˈsʲitʲɪtskij/ - Demonstrates the use of suffixes and consonant clusters.
• философский (filosofskiy): фи-ло-со́ф-ский /fʲɪlɐˈsofskʲɪj/ - Shows a similar pattern of prefix/root/suffix combination and stress placement.

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant clusters and vowel sequences within each word. Russian syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds, leading to variations in how consonant clusters are handled.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight differences in vowel reduction or palatalization of consonants. These variations generally do not affect the core syllable division.

11. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables are formed to maximize sonority, with more sonorous sounds (vowels) forming the nucleus.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are generally broken after the first consonant if a vowel follows, but attempts are made to keep clusters intact if possible.
• Rule 3: Vowel-Based Division: Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 4: Palatalization: Palatalized consonants often influence syllable boundaries.
