Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: fortsettelsesfortelling

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "fortsettelsesfortelling" is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk, meaning "a continuation story" or "a sequel." It's a relatively long word, built from several morphemes. Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, with a tendency towards a more conservative pronunciation of vowels compared to Bokmål.

2. Syllable Division:

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

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• fort-: Prefix, from Old Norse for- meaning "forth," "further," or "continuation."
• -sett-: Root, from the verb å setja (to set, to place), here implying "setting in motion" or "proceeding."
• -else-: Suffix, from Old Norse -elsi forming nouns of action or process.
• -s-: Suffix, genitive marker, indicating possession or relation.
• -fortelling: Compound noun, fortelling meaning "story" or "narrative," composed of for- (again, continuation) and telling (telling, narrative).

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable of the final compound: tel-ling. This is typical for Nynorsk compound nouns.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/fɔʈˈsɛtːəˌlɛsˌfɔʈˈtɛlɪŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The double 't' and 'l' sounds require careful consideration. Nynorsk generally maintains geminate consonants (doubled consonants) which are pronounced as longer versions of the single consonant. The 's' between 'sett' and 'else' is a common linking sound in compound words.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• oversettelse (translation): o-ver-set-tel-se. Similar suffix structure (-else). Stress on the third syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the length and complexity of the compound words. Longer compounds tend to have stress on the penultimate syllable of the final component.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation exist, particularly regarding vowel qualities. Some dialects might pronounce the 'ø' vowel slightly differently. However, the syllable division remains consistent.
