Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: prisfastsetting

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "prisfastsetting" is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk, meaning "price fixing" or "price setting." It's pronounced with relatively straightforward vowel and consonant sounds, though the 'rs' cluster requires attention.

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 division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• pris - Root: "price" (from Old Norse prís, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *preisaz).
• fast - Root: "fixed, firm" (from Old Norse fastr, Proto-Germanic *fastaz).
• setting - Suffix: "setting, act of" (from Old Norse setja "to set", with the -ing suffix indicating a process or action). This suffix is a common deverbal noun suffix.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: "set-ting".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈpɾɪsfɑstˌsɛtːɪŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'rs' cluster is a common feature in Norwegian and is generally treated as part of the onset of the following syllable. The double 't' in "setting" indicates a geminate consonant, lengthening the sound.

7. Grammatical Role:

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

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The act of establishing a fixed price for a good or service.
• Translation: Price fixing, price setting.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender).
• Synonyms: prisregulering (price regulation).
• Antonyms: prisvariasjon (price variation).
• Examples:
  • "Ulovlig prisfastsetting er straffbart." (Illegal price fixing is punishable.)
  • "Selskapet ble anklaget for prisfastsetting." (The company was accused of price fixing.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• prisliste (price list): "pris-lis-te" - Similar structure, with a root followed by a suffix. Stress on the first syllable.
• fastsettelse (determination, fixing): "fast-set-tel-se" - Similar 'fast' root and -else suffix. Stress on the first syllable.
• innsetting (insertion): "inn-set-ting" - Similar '-setting' suffix. Stress on the second syllable.

The differences in stress patterns are due to the varying number of syllables and the weight of the syllables. "Prisfastsetting" has a longer sequence and the stress naturally falls on the penultimate syllable.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together as onsets.
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must have a vowel peak.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Sounds within a syllable are ordered by sonority (openness of articulation).

11. Special Considerations:

The 'rs' cluster is a potential point of variation in pronunciation, with some speakers potentially inserting a schwa vowel between the 'r' and 's'. However, this doesn't affect the syllabification.
