5. Syllable Division Rule Explanations:

Norwegian Nynorsk syllable division primarily follows the principle of maximizing onsets. This means consonants generally attach to the following vowel. Vowel sequences are usually split into separate syllables. Geminate consonants are treated as part of the preceding syllable.

• bred-: The 'd' follows the vowel 'e' and is part of the syllable.
• -de-: The vowel 'e' forms the nucleus of the syllable.
• -to-: The vowel 'o' forms the nucleus of the syllable.
• -le-: The vowel 'e' forms the nucleus of the syllable.
• -ran-: The vowel 'a' forms the nucleus of the syllable.
• -se: The vowel 'e' forms the nucleus of the syllable.

6. Potential Exceptions/Special Cases:

Gemination (doubling of consonants) is a common feature in Nynorsk and affects syllable weight. The 'd' in bred- is geminated, making the syllable heavier.

7. Exceptions/Special Cases for the Word as a Whole:

The word is relatively straightforward in its syllabification. The main consideration is the geminated consonant.

8. Syllable Division for Multiple Parts of Speech:

breddetoleranse is primarily a noun. If it were to be used adjectivally (which is less common), the stress pattern would likely remain the same, and the syllable division would not change.

9. Definition of the Word:

• Definitions:
  • "Wide tolerance" - A broad acceptance of differences or errors.
  • "Broad tolerance" - A large degree of permissiveness.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation exist, particularly regarding vowel qualities and the realization of the retroflex consonant /ɽ/. These variations would not significantly alter the syllable division, but could affect the phonetic realization of each syllable.

11. Phonological Comparison with Similar Words:

• bredde (width): bred-de. Syllable division is similar, following CV and VCV patterns.
• toleranse (tolerance): to-le-ran-se. Syllable division is similar, following CV patterns.
• vidde (expanse): vid-de. Syllable division is similar, following CV and VCV patterns.

The consistency in syllable division across these words demonstrates the application of the same core principles in Nynorsk phonology. The presence of geminate consonants (like in bredde and breddetoleranse) influences syllable weight but doesn't change the basic CV/VCV structure.
