Hyphenation ofadministrationsbygningens

Danish Word Analysis: administrationsbygningens

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "administrationsbygningens" is a complex Danish noun. It's a genitive singular form, meaning "of the administration building." Danish pronunciation is characterized by stød (a glottal stop), vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, and a relatively consistent relationship between orthography and phonology, though with some exceptions.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Danish syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable), the word is divided as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• administration-: Prefix/Root (Latin origin, meaning "the act of managing"). Functions as the core concept.
• -s-: Genitive marker (Danish suffix, indicating possession).
• bygning-: Root (Old Norse origin, meaning "building").
• -ens: Genitive singular ending (Danish suffix, marking the genitive case).

4. Stress Identification:

Danish stress is generally fixed on the first syllable of a word root. In this case, the primary stress falls on "ad-". However, due to the length of the word and the presence of multiple morphemes, there's a secondary, weaker stress on "byg-".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/aˌdmiˈnistraːt͡siɔnsˈbyŋnɪns/

6. Edge Case Review:

The long sequence of consonants in "administrations" presents a potential challenge. Danish allows for complex consonant clusters, but the syllable division must respect phonotactic constraints. The "d" is part of the onset of the second syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a noun in the genitive singular. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function, as the stress pattern is tied to the root.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Danish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel as Syllable Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel (or diphthong) as its nucleus.
• Genitive Suffix Separation: The genitive suffixes "-s" and "-ens" are typically separated into their own syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is exceptionally long and complex, increasing the likelihood of mispronunciation or variation in syllable division among speakers. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might also affect the phonetic realization.
