3. Morphemic Analysis:

• forskning-: Prefix/Root - Derived from the verb "forske" (to research). Origin: Old Norse forski (to try, investigate). Morphological function: Denotes the act of researching.
• -objekt: Suffix - From Latin objectum (thing placed before the eyes, object). Origin: Latin. Morphological function: Noun suffix indicating 'object' or 'thing'.

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "-ngs-" can sometimes pose a challenge, but in Nynorsk, it's generally treated as part of the preceding syllable, especially when followed by a vowel.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A subject or topic of research; something that is being investigated.
• Translation: Research object
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine/neuter, depending on context)
• Synonyms: Forsksingstema (research theme), studiemateriale (study material)
• Antonyms: (Difficult to define a direct antonym, as it's a specific type of object)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• utdanning (education): /ʊtˈdɑnɪŋ/ - Syllables: ut-dan-ning. Similar structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the second syllable.
• samfunnsproblem (social problem): /samˈfʊnːsˌprɔblɛm/ - Syllables: sam-funns-pro-blem. Compound noun, stress on the second element.
• informasjonsflyt (information flow): /ɪnfɔrˈmɑsjonsˌflyt/ - Syllables: in-for-mas-jons-flyt. Similar consonant clusters and compound structure. Stress on the third syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the length and structure of the compound words. Nynorsk generally favors penultimate stress in nouns, but longer compounds can shift the stress to maintain rhythm.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "fr-", "sk-").
• Vowel Sequencing: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the syllable onset to the coda.

11. Special Considerations:

The "-ngs-" cluster is a potential point of variation, but the standard Nynorsk pronunciation and syllabification treat it as part of the preceding syllable. Regional variations might exist, but the analysis presented here reflects the most common and academically accepted approach.
