Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: kommentartegning

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "kommentartegning" (comment drawing) is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. It's pronounced with relatively straightforward vowel and consonant sounds, typical of the language. The 'g' is a velar fricative /ɣ/, common in Nynorsk.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and respecting vowel sequences, the word breaks down as follows (see "syllable_division" in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kommentar-: Root. From French "commentaire" (via Danish/Norwegian), meaning "comment".
• -teikning: Suffix. From Old Norse "teikning", related to "teikna" (to draw), meaning "drawing". This is a deverbal noun suffix.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: "teik-ning". This is typical for Nynorsk nouns.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔˈmɛntɑːɾˌtæɪ̯nɪŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'rt' cluster is a common onset in Nynorsk and doesn't pose a significant challenge. The diphthong 'ei' in "teikning" is a standard Nynorsk diphthong.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• ordbok (dictionary): or-d-bok. Similar syllable structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• datamaskin (computer): da-ta-ma-skin. More syllables, but follows the same onset maximization principle.
• universitet (university): u-ni-ver-si-te-tet. Longer word, but demonstrates the Nynorsk tendency to break up consonant clusters when necessary.

10. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

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

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word doesn't significantly alter the syllabification rules. The word is relatively straightforward in terms of phonological complexity.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the realization of the vowels (e.g., the degree of openness in /ɑː/). However, these variations wouldn't typically change the syllable division.
