Hyphenation ofkoncentrationsforstyrrende

Danish Word Analysis: koncentrationsforstyrrende

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "koncentrationsforstyrrende" is a complex Danish word meaning "disrupting concentration." It's a compound word built from several morphemes. Danish pronunciation is characterized by stød (a glottal stop), vowel length distinctions, 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 JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• koncentrations-: Root: koncentration (concentration). Origin: Latin concentratio (from concentrare - to gather together). Morphological function: Noun stem.
• for-: Prefix. Origin: Old Norse fǫr- (meaning 'away', 'before'). Morphological function: Intensifier/directional.
• styrrende: Root: styrre (to disturb, disrupt). Origin: Old Norse stýra (to steer, govern). Morphological function: Verb stem, present participle.

4. Stress Identification:

Danish stress is generally on the first syllable of a root word. In compound words, the primary stress falls on the first element. Therefore, the primary stress is on "kon-". A secondary stress may fall on "styr-".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔnˌsɛnˈtʁaːt͡siɔns fɔˈstʏʁən̪d̥ə/

6. Edge Case Review:

Danish allows for complex consonant clusters, which can influence syllable division. The "ns" cluster in "koncentrations" is a typical example. The "r" sound is often realized as a uvular fricative [ʁ] or a tap [ɾ] depending on the speaker and position in the word. The 'd' at the end of 'styrrende' is often devoiced to [t].

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions as an adjective, modifying a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical role.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: koncentrationsforstyrrende
• Grammatical Category: Adjective
• English Translation: concentration-disrupting, concentration-disturbing
• Synonyms: koncentrationsafbrydende, opmærksomhedsforstyrrende
• Antonyms: koncentrationsfremmende, koncentrationsstøttende
• Examples: "Den støjende musik var meget koncentrationsforstyrrende." (The noisy music was very concentration-disrupting.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• administration: /adˌmɪnɪˈstʁaːt͡siɔn/ - Similar syllable structure with complex consonant clusters and vowel length. Stress on the first syllable.
• information: /ɪnfɔʁˈmaːt͡siɔn/ - Shares the "-tion" suffix and similar stress pattern.
• organisation: /ɔʁɡaˌniˈsaːt͡siɔn/ - Similar complex onset clusters and vowel length. Stress on the second syllable, differing from the primary stress on the first syllable in "koncentrationsforstyrrende".

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Danish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Compound Word Stress: Primary stress falls on the first element of a compound word.

11. Special Considerations:

The devoicing of final consonants is a common feature of Danish phonology and doesn't affect syllable division. The stød (glottal stop) is not represented in the orthography but is a crucial part of the pronunciation and can affect the perceived boundaries between syllables.
