2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex and unpronounceable as a unit, the word is divided as follows (using only the original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• av-: Prefix, from Old Norse af, meaning "from" or "away from". (Origin: Proto-Germanic)
• sender: Root, from the verb sende (to send). (Origin: Proto-Germanic)
• adresse: Root, borrowed from French adresse (address). (Origin: Latin ad direre - to direct to)

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable: av-sen-der-a-dresse.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/avˈsɛndərˌadrɛsːə/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

Here's a detailed breakdown of each syllable, with IPA transcription, rule application, and potential exceptions:

• av /av/ - Open syllable. Rule: Every vowel sound constitutes the nucleus of a syllable. No consonant clusters disrupt the vowel. Exception: None.
• sen /sɛn/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel 'e' forms the nucleus. 's' and 'n' are onsets and codas respectively. Exception: None.
• der /dər/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel 'e' forms the nucleus. 'd' and 'r' are onsets and codas respectively. Exception: None.
• a /a/ - Open syllable. Rule: Vowel 'a' forms the nucleus. Exception: None.
• dresse /ˈdrɛsːə/ - Syllable with a long vowel and a coda. Rule: Vowel 'e' forms the nucleus, lengthened due to the following 'ss'. 'dr' is a permissible consonant cluster as an onset. 'ss' forms the coda. Exception: None.

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'dr' cluster is common in Norwegian and doesn't require syllable separation. The 'ss' cluster is also permissible as a coda. The length of the 'e' in 'dresse' is important for pronunciation and is reflected in the IPA transcription.

8. Grammatical Role:

"Avsenderadresse" functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

9. Definition & Semantics:

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they won't significantly alter the syllable division. Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in unstressed syllables.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• postadresse (postal address): pos-ta-dres-se. Similar structure, with a compound noun. Stress on the second syllable.
