Hyphenation ofсамоудовлетворённого

Linguistic Analysis of "самоудовлетворённого" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "самоудовлетворённого" is a long, complex adjective in Russian, meaning "self-satisfied" (masculine, genitive singular). It's formed through extensive prefixation and suffixation. Pronunciation involves careful attention to vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, a common feature of Russian phonology.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Russian syllabification rules, the word breaks down as follows (using only original letters):

са-мо-у-дов-ле-тво-рён-но-го

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: само- (self-) - Slavic origin, reflexive prefix.
• Root: -удовлетво- (satisfy-) - from Old Church Slavonic, ultimately from Latin satisfacere (to satisfy).
• Suffixes:
  • -рён- (past active participle suffix) - Slavic origin, indicates completed action.
  • -нн- (double 'n' suffix) - Slavic origin, used to form adjectives from past active participles.
  • -ого (genitive singular masculine ending) - Slavic origin, indicates grammatical case and gender.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the fifth syllable: са-мо-у-дов-ле-тво-рён-но-го.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/sɐmʊdɐvɫʲɪˈtvɔrʲɵnːəɡə/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification generally follows the principle of maximizing onsets. Consonant clusters are usually broken up to create syllables with a consonant-vowel structure. The 'в' in 'удовлетво' is a potential point of complexity, but it follows the rule of being included in the following syllable if it cannot form an onset.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is an adjective. If it were used as a noun (though less common), the stress pattern would likely remain the same, but the syllabification would not change.

8. Definition & Semantics:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• удовлетворение (udovletvoreniye - satisfaction): у-дов-ле-тво-ре-ни-е. Similar syllable structure, demonstrating the consistent handling of the 'в' and 'тв' clusters.
• удовлетворительный (udovletvorytel'nyy - satisfactory): у-дов-ле-тво-ри-тель-ный. Again, the 'в' and 'тв' clusters are handled similarly.
• самооценка (samootsenka - self-esteem): са-мо-о-цен-ка. Demonstrates how the prefix 'само-' is consistently divided into two syllables.

Division Rules Applied:

• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables are formed to maximize sonority, with vowels forming the nucleus.
• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are broken up to create onsets whenever possible.
• Vowel-Centric Syllabification: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
