2. Syllable Division:

Following Norwegian syllable division rules, which generally favor open syllables (CV) and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce, the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: anti- (Latin origin, meaning "against") - morphological function: negation.
• Root: militarist (French/Latin origin, from militaris meaning "military") - morphological function: core meaning relating to militarism.
• Suffix: -isk (Scandinavian origin, common adjectival suffix) - morphological function: forms an adjective.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/anti.mi.li.taˈris.tisk/

6. Edge Case Review:

The consonant cluster stisk at the end of the word is a potential edge case. However, Norwegian allows for such clusters, especially at the end of words, and doesn't typically require syllable division within them.

7. Grammatical Role:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• nasjonalistisk: na-sjo-na-lis-tisk - Similar syllable structure, with a suffix -istisk. Stress pattern is also comparable.
• sosialistisk: so-si-a-lis-tisk - Again, the -istisk suffix creates a similar syllable pattern.
• kapitalistisk: ka-pi-ta-lis-tisk - Similar structure, demonstrating the consistent syllabification of the -istisk suffix. The differences in syllable division are due to the differing initial consonant clusters.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Norwegian pronunciation might lead to slight differences in vowel quality or the degree of stress, but the core syllable division remains consistent. Some dialects might slightly reduce unstressed vowels.

11. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Onset-Rime Principle: Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.
