It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The 'j' is pronounced as /j/ (as in "yes"). The 'u' is a close, back rounded vowel.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• intervju-: Prefix/Root - Borrowed from French "entretien" (via English "interview"). Functions as a compound element denoting the act of interviewing.
• -teknikk: Suffix/Root - From Greek "tekhnē" (τέχνη) meaning "art, skill, craft." Functions as a noun denoting a method or skill.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable: "inter-vju-tek-nikk". Nynorsk generally stresses the first syllable of a compound word, but in longer compounds, secondary stresses can emerge.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˌɪntɛrˈvjuːtɛknɪkː/

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'vju' sequence is a common borrowing pattern and doesn't present a significant syllabification challenge. The double 'k' at the end is a typical feature of Nynorsk orthography and affects pronunciation (gemination).

7. Grammatical Role:

"Intervjuteknikk" is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function, as it doesn't inflect.

The consistency in stress placement on the second syllable in these compounds demonstrates a common pattern in Nynorsk. The length of the initial syllable varies, but the core structure remains consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "inter-").
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are often divided at the boundaries of their constituent parts.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is a relatively straightforward compound and doesn't present any unusual syllabification challenges. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but not the syllable division itself.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is /ˌɪntɛrˈvjuːtɛknɪkː/, some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables. This wouldn't alter the syllable division.
