Primary stress falls on the third syllable ('tras'). Nynorsk generally stresses the penultimate syllable, but compound words can shift stress. In this case, the stress is on the third syllable due to the word's length and morphological structure.
Syllables are the building blocks of words - each one typically contains a vowel sound
Open syllable, containing a long vowel and a voiced stop. The onset is a voiceless stop.
Closed syllable, containing a short vowel and a nasal consonant. The onset is a voiceless stop.
Open syllable, containing a short vowel and a nasal consonant. The onset is a voiceless fricative.
Open syllable, containing a short vowel and a voiced tap. The onset is a voiceless stop.
Closed syllable, containing a long vowel and a nasal consonant. The onset is a voiced palatal approximant.
Morphemes are the smallest meaningful parts of words: prefixes (beginning), roots (core meaning), and suffixes (ending)
Prefix:
No prefix present.
Root: støv, konsen
Both roots are present, indicating a compound structure. 'støv' is from Old Norse, 'konsen' from Latin via French/German.
Suffix: trasjon
Suffix indicating a process or state, derived from French/German *-tion* (Latin origin).
The amount of dust present in a given volume of air or on a surface.
Translation: Dust concentration
Examples:
"Det ble målt høy støvkonsentrasjon i luften."
"Støvkonsentrasjonen oversteg grenseverdien."

Detailed Analysis:
Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: støvkonsentrasjon
1. Examination & Pronunciation:
The word "støvkonsentrasjon" (dust concentration) is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. Its pronunciation involves a mix of voiced and voiceless consonants, vowels with varying degrees of openness, and a final schwa-like vowel. The 'ø' is a rounded front vowel. The 'v' is often realized as a [ʋ] in Nynorsk.
2. Syllable Division:
Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable), the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).
3. Morphemic Analysis:
- støv-: Root. From Old Norse stǫfr, meaning "dust". (Germanic origin)
- konsen-: Root. From Latin concentus (past participle of concere "to come together"), via French/German. Meaning "concentration".
- -trasjon: Suffix. From French/German -tion, indicating a process or state. (Latin origin)
4. Stress Identification:
The primary stress falls on the third syllable: kon-sen-tras-jon. Nynorsk generally stresses the penultimate (second-to-last) syllable in words of this length, but compound words can shift stress.
5. Phonetic Transcription:
/ˈstøːvkɔnˌsɛntɾɑsjøːn/
6. Edge Case Review:
The 'v' sound can be labiodental [v] or bilabial [ʋ] depending on dialect. The final vowel 'on' is often reduced to a schwa-like sound [n̩] or even elided in rapid speech. The 'r' is an alveolar trill or tap.
7. Grammatical Role:
"støvkonsentrasjon" is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function (as it's a single-form noun).
8. Definition & Semantics:
- Definition: The amount of dust present in a given volume of air or on a surface.
- Translation: Dust concentration (English)
- Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)
- Synonyms: støvmengde (dust amount), støvtetthet (dust density)
- Antonyms: (Difficult to find a direct antonym, but) ren luft (clean air)
- Examples:
- "Det ble målt høy støvkonsentrasjon i luften." (High dust concentration was measured in the air.)
- "Støvkonsentrasjonen oversteg grenseverdien." (The dust concentration exceeded the limit value.)
9. Phonological Comparison:
- solskinn (sunshine): sol-skinn. Similar syllable structure, stress on the second syllable.
- vannkvalitet (water quality): vann-kvali-tet. Similar compound structure, stress on the second syllable.
- temperatur (temperature): tem-pe-ra-tur. Similar ending with a suffix, stress on the second syllable.
The differences in stress placement are due to the length and morphological complexity of the words. "støvkonsentrasjon" is longer and has a more complex morphological structure, leading to stress on the third syllable.
10. Division Rules:
- Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., støv-).
- Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel (vowel peak).
- Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the nucleus to the coda.
11. Special Considerations:
The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries. The 'v' in "støv" can sometimes be weakly pronounced, potentially leading to a slight variation in syllable perception.
12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:
Dialectal variations in the pronunciation of 'v' ([v] vs. [ʋ]) and the final vowel [n̩] vs. [on] can affect the phonetic realization but not the core syllabification.

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of splitting words into syllables and inserting hyphens between them to facilitate the reading of a text. It is also used to divide words when the word cannot fit on a line.
This technique is particularly helpful in fully justified texts, where it aids in creating a uniform edge along both sides of a paragraph. Hyphenation rules vary among languages and even among different publications within the same language. It's a critical component in typesetting, significantly influencing the aesthetics and readability of printed and digital media. For instance, in compound adjectives like 'long-term solution', hyphens clarify relationships between words, preventing misinterpretation. Moreover, hyphenation can alter meanings: 'recreation' differs from 're-creation'.
With the advent of digital text, hyphenation algorithms have become more sophisticated, though still imperfect, sometimes requiring manual adjustment to ensure accuracy and coherence in text layout. Understanding and correctly applying hyphenation rules is therefore not only a matter of linguistic accuracy but also a key aspect of effective visual communication.
