Hyphenation ofсамовоспламенявшаяся

Linguistic Analysis of "самовоспламенявшаяся" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "самовоспламенявшаяся" is a relatively complex Russian word, a past active participle feminine singular of the verb "воспламеняться" (to ignite, to catch fire). It describes something that was self-igniting. Pronunciation involves careful attention to vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, a common feature of Russian phonology.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Russian syllabification rules, which prioritize the open syllable principle (preferring syllables ending in vowels), and considering consonant clusters, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• само- (prefix): From Proto-Slavic samъ, meaning "self". Functions as a reflexive or intensifying prefix.
• вос- (prefix): From Proto-Slavic vo-, meaning "up, into, again". Indicates the beginning of an action.
• пламен- (root): From Proto-Slavic plamę, related to "flame". The core meaning relates to fire.
• -я- (linking vowel): Connects the root to the suffix.
• -вш- (suffix): Past participle suffix.
• -ая (suffix): Feminine singular past active participle ending.
• -ся (reflexive particle): Indicates a reflexive action, though in this case, it's part of the verb's inherent reflexive nature.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: са-мо-вос-пла-ме́н-яв-ша-яся.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/sɐˈmɔvɐsplɐmʲɪˈnʲævʂɐjə/

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "вспл" presents a potential challenge, but Russian allows for such clusters, particularly within a word. The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a key consideration.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a past active participle, functioning as an adjective. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

Division Rules Applied:

• Open Syllable Principle: Russian favors syllables ending in vowels.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel.
• Vowel Reduction: Unstressed vowels are reduced in pronunciation, but this doesn't affect syllabification.
