Hyphenation ofintonasjonsproblem

Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: intonasjonsproblem

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "intonasjonsproblem" is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk, meaning "intonation problem". It consists of two parts: "intonasjon" (intonation) and "problem" (problem). Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, with a relatively even stress distribution, though the first syllable of "intonasjon" receives primary stress.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor open syllables and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex, the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• intonasjon:
  • Root: "inton-" (Latin origin, related to "intonare" - to sound, to pronounce)
  • Suffix: "-asjon" (French/Latin origin, nominalizing suffix, forming a noun from a verb)
• problem:
  • Root: "problem" (Latin origin, from "problema" - a question, a difficulty) - borrowed directly into Nynorsk.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the first syllable of "intonasjon": in-to-na-sjon-pro-blem.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˌɪntɔˈnɑːʃɔn prɔˈblɛm/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for some flexibility in compound word pronunciation, but the syllable division remains consistent. Regional variations might affect vowel quality, but not the core syllable structure.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: intonasjonsproblem
• Grammatical Category: Noun (neuter)
• Definition: A difficulty or issue related to intonation.
• Translation: Intonation problem
• Synonyms: Uttalevanskar (pronunciation difficulties), taleproblem (speech problem)
• Antonyms: (None directly applicable)
• Examples:
  • "Ho hadde eit intonasjonsproblem som gjorde det vanskeleg å forstå henne." (She had an intonation problem that made it difficult to understand her.)
  • "Læraren jobba med elevane sine intonasjonsproblem." (The teacher worked with her students' intonation problems.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• kommunikasjon (communication): kom-mu-ni-ka-sjon. Similar structure with a compound word and a suffix "-sjon". Stress pattern is also similar, with primary stress on the first syllable of the first part.
• informasjon (information): in-for-ma-sjon. Shares the "-sjon" suffix and a similar initial syllable structure.
• demonstrasjon (demonstration): de-mon-stra-sjon. Again, the "-sjon" suffix is present, and the syllable division follows the same principles. The difference lies in the length and complexity of the initial root.

10. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Open Syllable Preference: Nynorsk favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). This is evident in the division of "intonasjon" and "problem".
• Rule 2: Consonant Cluster Avoidance: Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce. This applies to the "pr" in "problem".
• Rule 3: Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified by treating each component as a separate unit, then combining them.

11. Special Considerations:

The word is a relatively straightforward compound noun. No significant exceptions or morphological anomalies are present. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they do not affect the syllable division.
