Hyphenation ofproduktinformasjon

Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: produktinformasjon

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "produktinformasjon" is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk, meaning "product information". It's pronounced with relatively straightforward vowel and consonant sounds, though the 'r' is alveolar and can be slightly trilled depending on dialect. The stress is generally on the penultimate syllable.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding stranded consonants, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• produkt-: Root, borrowed from Latin productum (meaning "a thing produced"). Functions as a noun stem.
• informasjons-: Compound element, derived from informasjon (information), itself borrowed from French information (ultimately from Latin informatio). Functions as a noun stem modifying 'produkt'.
• -on: Suffix, a definite singular noun ending in Nynorsk.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: "in-for-ma-sjon".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈpɾo.dʊkt.ɪn.fɔɾˈmɑ.sjɔn/

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both 'produkt' and 'produckt' spellings, though 'produkt' is more common. This doesn't affect syllabification. The 'r' sound can vary regionally, but the syllable structure remains consistent.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification doesn't significantly change if it were hypothetically used as part of a larger compound (e.g., as an adjective modifying another noun). Stress would remain on the 'sjon' syllable.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Word: produktinformasjon
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)
• English Translation: Product information
• Synonyms: vareinformasjon (goods information)
• Antonyms: None directly applicable.
• Examples:
  • "Vi trenger meir produktinformasjon før vi kan ta ei avgjerd." (We need more product information before we can make a decision.)
  • "Produktinformasjonen på nettsida var veldig nyttig." (The product information on the website was very useful.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• administrasjon (administration): ad-mi-ni-stra-sjon. Similar syllable structure with a final '-sjon' suffix. Stress also on the penultimate syllable.
• demonstrasjon (demonstration): de-mon-stra-sjon. Again, the '-sjon' suffix creates a similar syllable pattern and stress.
• organisasjon (organization): o-rga-ni-sa-sjon. Similar structure, with the stress on the penultimate syllable. The difference lies in the initial consonant cluster.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of syllables (e.g., "pr-" in "produkt").
• Vowel Centering: Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible consonant cluster.

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries, but these do not override the core syllabification rules.
