It consists of three morphemes: "forsking" (research), "s" (genitive marker), and "oppgave" (assignment/task). Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, with a relatively even stress distribution, though the first syllable of "forsking" receives slightly more emphasis.

2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: None
• Root: "forsking" - Derived from the verb "forske" (to research), ultimately from Old Norse forski (to try, test). Morphological function: Noun, denoting the activity of researching.
• Suffix: "-s" - Genitive marker, indicating possession or relationship. Origin: Old Norse. Morphological function: Grammatical marker.
• Suffix: "-oppgave" - Derived from Old Norse uppgáfa (task, assignment). Morphological function: Noun, denoting the task itself.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈfɔrˌʃiŋsɔpːɡɑvə/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both "forskingsoppgave" and "forskingsoppgåve" (with å instead of a). The syllable division remains consistent regardless of the 'a' or 'å' spelling.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its role within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "utdanning" (education): ut-dan-ning. Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters.
• "samarbeid" (collaboration): sam-ar-bei-d. Demonstrates the tendency to break up consonant clusters when possible, but still maximizing onsets.
• "problemstilling" (problem statement): pro-blem-stil-ling. Shows a similar pattern of compound words with multiple syllables.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Nynorsk favors syllables with consonant onsets.
• Vowel-Centric Syllables: Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllables are divided within each morpheme of a compound word.

11. Special Considerations:

The "s" genitive marker is a common feature of Nynorsk and influences syllable division. The double 'g' in "oppgave" is a characteristic of Nynorsk orthography and affects pronunciation.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the degree of stress on different syllables, but the core syllable division remains consistent.
