Hyphenation ofkolesterolfattig

Linguistic Analysis of "kolesterolfattig" (Norwegian)

1. Examination & Pronunciation:

The word "kolesterolfattig" is a compound adjective in Norwegian, meaning "low in cholesterol." It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The 'r' is typically alveolar, and vowels are generally clear.

2. Syllable Division:

Following Norwegian syllable division rules, which prioritize vowel sounds and avoid breaking consonant clusters unless they are complex and involve multiple types of consonants, the word divides as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kolesterol-: Root. From Latin cholesterin, via German Cholesterin. Refers to cholesterol.
• -fattig: Suffix. From Old Norse fatlauss, meaning "poor in" or "lacking." Functions as an adjectival suffix indicating deficiency.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable, "ste-". Norwegian generally stresses the first syllable of a word, but compound words often shift the stress to the second element.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔˈlɛstərɔlˌfɑtːɪɡ/

6. Edge Case Review:

Norwegian allows for some flexibility in syllable division, particularly with consonant clusters. However, the given division adheres to the principle of maximizing onsets (consonant sounds at the beginning of a syllable).

7. Grammatical Role:

"Kolesterolfattig" functions exclusively as an adjective. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its use in a sentence.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Containing a low amount of cholesterol.
• Translation: Low-cholesterol
• Grammatical Category: Adjective

9. Phonological Comparison:

• "sjokoladefabrikk" (chocolate factory): sjɔ-kɔ-la-de-fa-brikk. Similar structure with compound words. Stress on the second element.
• "datamaskinlæring" (machine learning): da-ta-ma-skin-læ-ring. Again, stress shifts to the second element in the compound.
• "universitetsbibliotek" (university library): u-ni-vɛr-si-te-ts-bi-bli-ɔ-tek. Longer compound, but demonstrates the tendency to break after each morpheme.

10. Syllable Analysis Details:

• ko-: Open syllable, onset 'k', nucleus 'o'. Rule: Vowel initiates a new syllable.
• les-: Closed syllable, onset 'l', nucleus 'e', coda 's'. Rule: Consonant following a vowel forms a coda.
• te-: Open syllable, onset 't', nucleus 'e'. Rule: Vowel initiates a new syllable.
• rol-: Closed syllable, onset 'r', nucleus 'o', coda 'l'. Rule: Consonant following a vowel forms a coda.
• fat-: Open syllable, onset 'f', nucleus 'a'. Rule: Vowel initiates a new syllable.
• tig: Closed syllable, onset 't', nucleus 'i', coda 'g'. Rule: Consonant following a vowel forms a coda.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'r' sound in Norwegian can be realized as a trill or tap, depending on dialect. This doesn't affect syllable division. The double 't' in "fattig" indicates a geminate consonant, which is phonetically lengthened but doesn't alter the syllabic structure.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist, but they don't significantly impact syllable division. Some dialects might slightly alter the stress pattern, but the second syllable remains the primary stressed syllable.
