1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "самовоспламеняющегося" is a complex adjective in Russian, meaning "self-igniting" or "spontaneously combustible." It's a participial adjective derived from a verb. 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 the presence of consonant clusters, the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• само- (samo-): Prefix, originating from Proto-Slavic samъ meaning "self." Functions to indicate self-action.
• вос- (vos-): Prefix, originating from Proto-Slavic vo- meaning "up, into, or a reflexive intensifier." In this context, it contributes to the reflexive aspect of the action.
• пламен- (plamen-): Root, derived from Proto-Slavic plamę meaning "flame." This is the core meaning related to fire.
• -я- (-ja-): Interfix, connecting the root to the suffix.
• -щ- (-šč-): Suffix, forming the present active participle.
• -его (-ego): Suffix, indicating masculine gender, singular, genitive case.
• -го (-go): Suffix, part of the genitive case ending.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/sɐmɐvɐsplɐˈmʲenʲɪjʉɕːɪɡəsʲɐ/

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 an adjective in the genitive singular masculine form. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of case or gender.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Self-igniting, spontaneously combustible.
• Grammatical Category: Adjective (participial adjective)
• Translation: Self-igniting, spontaneously combustible
• Synonyms: горючий (goryuchiy - flammable), легковоспламеняющийся (legkovosplamenyayushchiysya - easily flammable)
• Antonyms: негорючий (negoryuchiy - non-flammable)
• Examples:
  • "Самовоспламеняющиеся материалы представляют опасность." (Samovosplamenyayushchiyesya materialy predstavlyayut opasnost'.) - "Self-igniting materials are dangerous."

9. Phonological Comparison:

• воспламеняться (vosplamenyatsya) - "to ignite": во-спла-ме-ня-ться. Similar syllable structure, stress on "ме".
• воспламенение (vosplameneniye) - "ignition": во-спла-ме-не-ни-е. Similar prefix and root, stress on "ме".
• пламя (plamya) - "flame": пла-мя. Shares the root "пламен-", demonstrating consistent syllabification of this morpheme.

10. Division Rules:

• Open Syllable Principle: Syllables generally end in vowels.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken according to sonority hierarchy, but often remain intact if permissible in Russian phonotactics.
• Moraic Weight: Longer syllables (those with more complex structures) can influence division.

11. Special Considerations:

The palatalization of consonants before "я" (ya) influences pronunciation but doesn't directly affect syllabification. The reflexive suffix "-ся" is treated as a single syllable.
