3. Morphemic Analysis:

6. Edge Case Review:

The cluster "mi" within "økonomiminister" is a common occurrence in Norwegian and doesn't pose a significant syllabification challenge. The vowel "ø" is a relatively stable vowel in Nynorsk and doesn't typically lead to complex syllabic adjustments.

The word functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• økonomisk (economic): ø-ko-no-misk. Similar syllable structure, stress on the second syllable.
• administrasjon (administration): ad-mi-nis-tra-sjon. Similar vowel-consonant alternation, but longer and with a different stress pattern.
• kommunikasjon (communication): kom-mu-ni-ka-sjon. Similar vowel-consonant alternation, but with a different stress pattern and a final "sjon" suffix.

The differences in stress patterns are due to the length of the words and the specific vowel sequences. Nynorsk stress tends to recede towards the beginning of longer words.

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Consonant Cluster Rule: Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally long or difficult to pronounce.
• Stress-Timing: Stress influences syllable prominence and can affect vowel reduction in unstressed syllables.

11. Special Considerations:

The "ø" vowel can have slight regional variations in pronunciation, but this doesn't significantly alter the syllabification. The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries, but the rules of Nynorsk allow for seamless integration of these morphemes into a single phonetic word.
