Hyphenation ofультранационалистическому

Linguistic Analysis of "ультранационалистическому" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "ультранационалистическому" is a complex adjective meaning "ultra-nationalistic" (dative singular, masculine/neuter). It's a relatively long word with several morphemes, posing challenges for syllabification due to consonant clusters and vowel reduction in unstressed syllables.

2. Syllable Division:

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

уль-тра-на-ци-о-на-ли-сти-че-ско-му

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ультра- (ultra-): Prefix of Latin origin, meaning "beyond" or "extreme." Functions as an intensifier.
• национал- (nacional-): Root of Latin origin (via French), meaning "national."
• -ист- (-ist-): Suffix of Greek origin, forming a noun or adjective denoting a follower or proponent of a particular ideology.
• -ическ- (-ichesk-): Suffix of Slavic origin, forming an adjective from a noun.
• -ому (-omu): Dative singular ending for masculine/neuter adjectives.

4. Stress Identification:

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʊlʲtrɐnɐt͡sʲɪɐnɐlʲɪˈstʲɪt͡ɕɪskəmʊ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Consonant clusters are generally broken around vowels. The "ст" cluster is a common one, and is usually split as shown. Vowel reduction (akan'ye/okan'ye) affects the pronunciation of unstressed vowels, but doesn't change the syllabification.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is an adjective. If it were used as a noun (though rare), the stress and syllabification would remain the same.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Relating to or characteristic of extreme nationalism.
• Translation: Ultra-nationalistic
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Synonyms: крайне националистический (krayne natsionalisticheskiy - extremely nationalistic), радикально националистический (radikal'no natsionalisticheskiy - radically nationalistic)
• Antonyms: интернационалистический (internatsionalisticheskiy - internationalistic), миролюбивый (mirolyubivyy - peaceful)
• Examples:
  • "Ультранационалистические взгляды" (Ul'tranatsionalisticheskiye vzglyady) - "Ultra-nationalistic views."
  • "Он придерживался ультранационалистических убеждений." (On priderzhivalsya ul'tranatsionalisticheskikh ubezhdeniy.) - "He adhered to ultra-nationalistic beliefs."

9. Phonological Comparison:

• национальности (natsional'nosti - nationality): на-ци-о-наль-нос-ти. Similar syllable structure, with the root "национал-" appearing in both.
• национализация (natsionalizatsiya - nationalization): на-ци-о-на-ли-за-ци-я. Again, the root is present, and the syllabification follows similar patterns.
• интернациональный (internatsional'nyy - international): ин-тер-на-ци-о-наль-ный. Demonstrates how prefixes and suffixes are separated into syllables.

The differences in syllable division arise from the length of the word and the specific suffixes attached. "ультранационалистическому" has a longer suffix chain, leading to more syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-Based Syllabification: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Resolution: Consonant clusters are broken around vowels, prioritizing the preservation of vowel-consonant (VC) or consonant-vowel (CV) structures.
• Rule 3: Prefix/Suffix Separation: Prefixes and suffixes are generally separated into distinct syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ст" cluster is a common point of variation in syllabification, but in this case, it's consistently treated as a single unit within the syllable. The vowel reduction in unstressed syllables doesn't affect the written syllable division.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations in vowel reduction might occur, but these wouldn't alter the syllabification.
