Hyphenation ofproduksjonsindeks

Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: produksjonsindeks

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "produksjonsindeks" is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk, meaning "production index". It's a relatively long word, and its pronunciation follows the general rules of Nynorsk, which emphasizes a more conservative pronunciation compared to Bokmål. The 'j' is pronounced as /j/, and the 's' is generally voiceless.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters where possible, the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: pro- (Latin, meaning "forward, forth") - contributes to the meaning of 'producing'.
• Root: duks- (Latin, from ducere "to lead, to produce") - the core meaning of production.
• Suffix: -sjon- (Norse/Germanic, nominalizing suffix, forming a noun from a verb) - creates the noun "production".
• Suffix: -s- (Norse/Germanic, genitive marker, also used to form nouns) - connects production to index.
• Root: indeks (Latin, via Greek, meaning "pointer, indicator") - the concept of an index.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penult (second to last syllable) – deks. Nynorsk generally favors stress on the penultimate syllable in words of this length.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/proˈdʊksjɔnsˈɪndɛks/

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster "-ksj-" is a common feature in Nynorsk and doesn't typically cause syllable division issues. The 'j' acts as a glide, connecting the vowel sounds.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Produksjonsindeks" is primarily a noun. Its syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A statistical measure of changes in the volume of production for a particular industry or sector.
• Translation: Production index
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine)
• Synonyms: Produksjonsmål (production target), produksjonsnivå (production level)
• Antonyms: None directly applicable.
• Examples:
  • "Produksjonsindeksen viste ein auke i industrien." (The production index showed an increase in industry.)
  • "Statistikken over produksjonsindeksen er viktig for økonomisk planlegging." (The statistics on the production index are important for economic planning.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• produksjon: /proˈdʊksjɔn/ - Syllable division: pro-duk-sjon. Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.
• funksjon: /ˈfʊnksjɔn/ - Syllable division: fun-ksjon. Similar "-ksjon" ending, stress pattern.
• direksjon: /diˈrɛksjɔn/ - Syllable division: di-rek-sjon. Again, the "-ksjon" ending and stress pattern are consistent.

The consistency in these words demonstrates the regular application of Nynorsk syllable division rules and stress patterns. The presence of the "-ksjon" ending consistently leads to a similar syllabic structure.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While Nynorsk aims for standardization, some regional variations exist. In some dialects, the 'j' sound might be slightly weaker or even omitted in certain contexts, but this wouldn't significantly alter the syllable division.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Principle: Syllables prefer to include consonants as onsets (beginning of the syllable) whenever possible.
• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must have a vowel as its nucleus (peak).
• Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters: Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are particularly complex or difficult to pronounce.
