• Vowel length is phonemic in Norwegian Nynorsk, and influences syllable structure.

• The word is relatively straightforward in its syllable structure.

8. Grammatical Role & Syllabification Shifts:

• Trafikkontroll primarily functions as a noun. While it could theoretically be used adjectivally (e.g., "trafikkontrolltiltak" - traffic control measures), the syllabification would remain consistent. Stress would remain on fi.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• billett: /bɪˈlɛtː/ - Syllables: bil-lett. Similar CV-CVC structure. Stress on the second syllable.

• datamaskin: /daˈtaˌmaskin/ - Syllables: da-ta-maskin. CV-CV-CVC structure. Stress on the second syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent prosodic weight and morphological structure of each word. Trafikkontroll has a heavier second syllable due to the geminate consonant in fikk, attracting the stress. Fotball and datamaskin have different stress patterns based on the prominence of their constituent morphemes.
