6. Edge Case Review:

Norwegian allows for some flexibility in syllable division, particularly with consonant clusters. However, the division presented here is the most common and phonologically justifiable.

7. Grammatical Role:

"funksjonsforskyvning" is primarily a noun. Its syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A change in the grammatical function of a word or phrase.
• Translation: Functional shift, functional displacement.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)
• Synonyms: funksjonsendring (functional change)
• Antonyms: funksjonsbevaring (functional preservation)
• Examples:
  • "Denne funksjonsforskyvningen er vanlig i språkutviklingen." (This functional shift is common in language development.)
  • "Forskerne studerte funksjonsforskyvningen av ordet 'bank'." (The researchers studied the functional shift of the word 'bank'.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• utdanning (education): ut-dan-ning. Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the second syllable.
• informasjon (information): in-for-ma-sjon. Similar in length and complexity. Stress on the second syllable.
• konsekvens (consequence): kon-se-kvens. Shorter, but demonstrates the tendency to maximize onsets. Stress on the final syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the length and morphological structure of each word. Longer words tend to have stress further from the end, while shorter words often have final stress.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Norwegian favors placing as many consonants as possible at the beginning of a syllable.
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure generally follows a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

11. Special Considerations:

The "s-" linking morpheme doesn't form a syllable on its own; it's integrated into the preceding or following syllable. The consonant cluster "ksj" is permissible in Norwegian and is treated as a single onset.
