Hyphenation ofrevyforestilling

Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: revyforestilling

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "revyforestilling" (review performance) is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable tends to be slightly weaker. The 'v' sound is a voiced labiodental fricative, and the 'r' is typically alveolar.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable), the word breaks down as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• revy-: Prefix, derived from French "revue" (review). Morphological function: indicates a type of performance.
• forestill-: Root, derived from "forestille" (to present, to imagine). Morphological function: core meaning of presentation.
• -ing: Suffix, common noun-forming suffix in Norwegian. Morphological function: nominalizes the verb-like root.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable: for-estilling. Nynorsk generally stresses the first syllable of the root, but in compounds, the stress can shift slightly.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ɾɛˈvyfɔɾɛˌstɪlːɪŋ/

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'v' sound following a vowel can sometimes lead to syllabification debates, but in this case, it's more natural to keep it with the preceding vowel due to the overall flow of the word. The double 'l' in 'stilling' indicates a geminate consonant, which affects syllable weight.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Revyforestilling" is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A performance or show, typically a revue.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)
• Translation: Review performance, revue
• Synonyms: skodespel (play), framsyning (performance)
• Antonyms: (difficult to find a direct antonym, perhaps) øving (rehearsal)
• Examples:
  • "Vi skal på revyforestilling i kveld." (We are going to a revue performance tonight.)
  • "Revyforestillinga var veldig morsom." (The revue performance was very funny.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• fotballkamp (football match): fot-ball-kamp - Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the first syllable of the root.
• datamaskin (computer): da-ta-maskin - Compound noun, stress on the first syllable of the root.
• universitet (university): u-ni-ver-si-tet - More vowel-heavy, but still follows the pattern of stress on the root syllable.

The differences lie in the consonant clusters and the presence of geminate consonants (like the 'll' in 'stilling'), which affect syllable weight and pronunciation.

Division Rules:

• Maximize Onsets: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable.
• Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (VCV): Syllables are typically divided between vowels.
• Geminate Consonants: Geminate consonants (double consonants) are usually kept within the same syllable.

Special Considerations:

• The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of stress placement.
• Regional variations in pronunciation of 'r' might slightly affect the perceived syllable boundaries.
• The French origin of "revy" might influence pronunciation for some speakers.
