Hyphenation ofширокопредставительный

Linguistic Analysis of "широкопредставительный" (Russian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "широкопредставительный" (shirokopredstavitel'nyy) is a relatively long adjective meaning "broadly representative" or "imposing." Its pronunciation involves a complex interplay of consonants and vowels, with potential for palatalization influencing syllable boundaries.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Russian syllabification rules, which prioritize the open syllable principle (preferring syllables ending in vowels), and considering the sonority hierarchy, the word is divided as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• широко- (shiroko-): Prefix, derived from "широкий" (shirokiy - wide, broad). Function: Intensifier, indicating a large degree of the quality expressed by the root. Origin: Proto-Slavic.
• представи- (predstavi-): Root, derived from "представлять" (predstavlyat' - to represent, to present). Origin: Proto-Slavic, ultimately from Indo-European roots related to "standing before."
• -тельн- (-tel'n-): Suffix, forming a qualitative adjective. Function: Creates an adjective denoting a characteristic or quality. Origin: Proto-Slavic.
• -ый (-yy): Suffix, indicating masculine singular nominative/accusative case, or general adjective ending. Origin: Proto-Slavic.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the fifth syllable: пред in "широкопредставительный". This is determined by standard Russian stress rules, which are often unpredictable but follow tendencies based on word structure and frequency.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ʂɨrɐkɐprʲɪd̪stɐvʲɪˈtʲelʲnɨj/

6. Edge Case Review:

Russian syllabification can be tricky with consonant clusters. The "pr" cluster is generally treated as a single onset, but the following vowel dictates the syllable boundary. The palatalization of consonants before "е" (ye) influences the syllable structure.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily an adjective. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function (e.g., modifying a noun).

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Широкопредставительный (shirokopredstavitel'nyy) - broadly representative, imposing, of large stature or scope.
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• Translation: Broadly representative, imposing, stately.
• Synonyms: величественный (velichestvennyy - majestic), внушительный (vnushitel'nyy - impressive), солидный (solidnyy - solid, substantial).
• Antonyms: скромный (skromnyy - modest), неприметный (neprimetnyy - inconspicuous).
• Examples:
  • "Он был широкопредставительный мужчина." (On byl shirokopredstavitel'nyy muzhchina.) - He was an imposing man.
  • "Широкопредставительная делегация прибыла на переговоры." (Shirokopredstavitel'naya delegatsiya pribyla na peregovory.) - A broadly representative delegation arrived for negotiations.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• широкий (shirokiy - wide): ши-ро-кий /ʂɨˈrokʲɪj/ - Similar syllable structure, with the "ro" syllable being open.
• председатель (predsedatel' - chairman): пред-се-да-тель /prʲɪd̪sʲɪˈd̪atʲɪlʲ/ - Shares the "pred" root, demonstrating consistent syllabification.
• предложение (predlozheniye - offer): пред-ло-же-ни-е /prʲɪˈlɔʐɨnʲɪjə/ - Again, the "pred" root is syllabified similarly. The difference lies in the subsequent vowel and consonant clusters.

10. Division Rules:

• Open Syllable Principle: Syllables tend to end in vowels.
• Sonority Hierarchy: Consonants are ordered by their sonority (ability to be a syllable nucleus).
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Clusters are broken based on the sonority hierarchy and vowel proximity.
• Palatalization Influence: Palatalized consonants often create syllable boundaries.

11. Special Considerations:

The word's length and complex consonant clusters require careful application of the rules. The stress placement is not predictable from the morphology alone.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exist in the degree of palatalization or vowel reduction in unstressed syllables. These variations would not significantly alter the syllable division.
