2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding stranded consonants, the syllable division is as follows (using only the original letters):

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• informasjons-: Derived from the Latin "informatio" (information). Functions as a modifying element.
• -styring: From the Old Norse "stýra" (to steer, manage) + "-ing" (suffix denoting a process or activity). Functions as the core noun element.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˌɪnfɔrmɑˈsjonsˌstyːrɪŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The "sj"-cluster can sometimes be tricky, but in this case, it's treated as a single onset consonant cluster within the "sjons" syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical context, as it's a fixed compound.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• databehandling (data processing): da-ta-be-han-dling. Similar syllable structure, with consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables.
• organisasjonsstruktur (organizational structure): or-ga-ni-sa-sjons-struk-tur. Demonstrates the tendency to break after vowels and before consonant clusters.
• samfunnsplanlegging (social planning): sam-funns-plan-leg-ging. Shows how compound words are divided, often based on morphemic boundaries.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Attempt to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., "in-for").
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster.
• Morpheme Boundaries: Syllable division often respects morpheme boundaries (e.g., "informasjons-" and "-styring").

11. Special Considerations:

The "sj"-cluster is treated as a single onset. The length of the word and the presence of multiple consonant clusters require careful application of onset maximization and vowel peak principles.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations might exhibit slight differences in vowel quality or stress placement, but these variations generally don't alter the syllable division.
