Hyphenation offorsørgeransvar

Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: forsørgeransvar

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "forsørgeransvar" is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk, meaning "responsibility for providing for someone." It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the first syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The 'r' sounds are alveolar approximants, common in Nynorsk.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and respecting vowel sequences, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• forsørger-: Derived from the verb "forsørge" (to provide for, to support), ultimately from Old Norse for-sörja (before + to care for). This is the root relating to providing.
• -ansvar: From Old Norse ansvar (responsibility), related to the verb svara (to answer). This is the suffix denoting responsibility.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the first syllable: for-sør-ger-an-svar. Nynorsk generally stresses the first syllable of a word, especially in compound nouns.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/fɔrˈsøːrɡərɑnsʋɑr/

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'rg' cluster is a common onset in Norwegian and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The vowel sequences are also relatively straightforward.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The responsibility of financially and otherwise providing for someone (e.g., a child).
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine/neuter depending on context)
• Translation: Responsibility for support/maintenance.
• Synonyms: Underholdsansvar (responsibility for maintenance), pleieansvar (responsibility for care)
• Antonyms: (Difficult to find a direct antonym, as it's a responsibility. Perhaps "fraskrivelse av ansvar" - disclaimer of responsibility)
• Examples:
  • "Foreldrene har forsørgeransvar for barna sine." (The parents have responsibility for providing for their children.)
  • "Det er et stort forsørgeransvar å ha en familie." (It's a big responsibility to have a family.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• arbeidsgiveransvar (employer's responsibility): ar-beids-gi-ver-an-svar. Similar structure, stress on the first syllable.
• samfunnsansvar (social responsibility): sam-funns-an-svar. Similar suffix "-ansvar", stress on the first syllable.
• straffeansvar (criminal responsibility): straf-fe-an-svar. Again, the "-ansvar" suffix and initial stress. The difference lies in the complexity of the initial consonant clusters.

Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Attempting to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of each syllable.
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Consonants within a syllable are ordered by decreasing sonority.
