5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kɔˈrʊpsjɔnˌsʏstɛm/

6. Edge Case Review:

The 'sj' cluster is a common feature in Norwegian and is treated as a single consonant in terms of syllabification. The compound nature of the word doesn't introduce any unusual syllabification challenges.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. While theoretically, one could attempt to use it adjectivally (e.g., "korrupsjonssystem-problemer" - corruption system problems), the syllabification remains consistent.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A system characterized by corruption; a system where corruption is prevalent.
• Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine, definite singular: korrupsjonssystemet)
• Translation: Corruption system
• Synonyms: (None are direct equivalents, but related terms include) korrupsjonsnettverk (corruption network), maktmisbruk (abuse of power).
• Antonyms: Integritetssystem (integrity system), rettferdighetssystem (justice system).
• Examples:
  • "Politiet etterforsker et omfattende korrupsjonssystem." (The police are investigating an extensive corruption system.)
  • "Korrupsjonssystemet undergraver tilliten til myndighetene." (The corruption system undermines trust in the authorities.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• administrasjon: a-dmi-nis-tra-sjon. Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters. Stress on 'ni'.
• organisasjon: o-rga-ni-sa-sjon. Similar ending '-sjon', stress on 'ni'.
• informasjonssystem: i-nfor-ma-sjon-sys-tem. Demonstrates how compound words are syllabified, with stress on 'ma'.

The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent stress patterns of the root words. 'Korrupsjon' naturally takes stress on 'rup', while 'administrasjon' and 'organisasjon' take stress on 'ni'.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Norwegian favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable. This is evident in the 'rup' syllable.
• Vowel Centering: Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes, but the overall stress pattern is determined by the root word.

11. Special Considerations:

The 'sj' cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification purposes. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but not the syllable division itself.
