5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔrnfɔrdɛˈliŋskʊrvə/

6. Edge Case Review:

The "rd" cluster in "fordelings" is a common onset in Norwegian and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The "-ings-" suffix is a standard nominalizer and follows predictable patterns.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• kornfordelingskurve (noun, feminine)
  • Definitions: A curve showing the distribution of grain sizes in a sample.
  • Translation: Grain size distribution curve
  • Synonyms: partikkelstørrelseskurve (particle size distribution curve)
  • Antonyms: None directly applicable.
  • Examples:
    • "Analysen viste ein klar kornfordelingskurve." (The analysis showed a clear grain size distribution curve.)
    • "Kornfordelingskurva er viktig for å vurdere materialkvaliteten." (The grain size distribution curve is important for assessing material quality.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• solskinn (sunshine): sol-skinn /sɔlˈʃɪn/. Similar syllable structure with a compound noun. Stress on the second element.
• fjelltopp (mountain peak): fjel-topp /ˈfjɛlːtɔpː/. Similar compound structure, stress on the second element.
• bordskive (tabletop): bords-kive /ˈbɔrskɪvə/. Similar compound structure, stress on the second element.

The difference in stress placement in "kornfordelingskurve" (first element of the final constituent) compared to "solskinn", "fjelltopp", and "bordskive" (second element) is due to the length and complexity of the final constituent. The longer and more complex the final constituent, the more likely the stress is to fall on its first syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., for- in fordelings).
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Syllabification occurs within each component of the compound word.

11. Special Considerations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but the core syllabification principles remain consistent.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables, but this doesn't alter the syllable division.
