3. Morphemic Analysis:

• skandale-: Root. Origin: French scandale, ultimately from Latin scandalum. Morphological function: Noun stem, meaning "scandal".

4. Stress Identification:

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both "skan-" and "skan-" pronunciations of the initial syllable. The /ɑː/ vowel is common in Eastern Norwegian dialects. The /ʃ/ sound in "prosjekt" is a standard Nynorsk pronunciation.

7. Grammatical Role:

"Skandaleprosjekt" functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine gender)
• Translation: Scandal project
• Synonyms: Kontroversielt prosjekt (controversial project), problemprosjekt (problem project)

• samfunnsproblem: sam-funns-pro-blem. Compound noun, similar to "skandaleprosjekt". Stress on the first syllable of the first word.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent stress patterns of compound nouns in Nynorsk, where the first element often receives primary stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "skan-").
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).

11. Special Considerations:

The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of the boundaries between the two root words. The syllable division aims to reflect the natural pronunciation and the individual morphemes.

12. Alternative Pronunciations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., /ɑː/ vs. /a/) might occur, but these do not significantly alter the syllable division.
