6. Edge Case Review:

Norwegian allows for relatively complex consonant clusters, which can pose challenges in syllabification. The clusters "ng" and "ppv" require careful consideration. Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., the degree of rounding) might exist, but do not significantly alter the syllabification.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. As a noun, the syllabification and stress remain consistent. It does not readily function as other parts of speech.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: A public display of clothing and accessories by models.
• Translation: Fashion show
• Grammatical Category: Noun (feminine gender)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• fotballkamp: fo-tball-kamp (similar syllable structure with consonant clusters)
• datamaskin: da-ta-maskin (compound noun with similar stress pattern)
• universitet: u-ni-ver-si-tet (longer word with multiple syllables, demonstrating Norwegian's tolerance for complex syllable structures)

The differences in syllable division arise from the specific consonant and vowel sequences in each word. "mannekengoppvisning" has more complex clusters ("ng", "ppv") than the other examples, requiring careful consideration of onset maximization.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Norwegian favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Nucleus: Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.
• Compound Word Syllabification: Compound words are generally syllabified based on the individual components, with stress often falling on the first syllable of the first component.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Complex consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to form the nucleus of a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The "g" between "ken" and "opp" is a connecting element and doesn't form a syllable on its own. The "ppv" cluster is a relatively uncommon but permissible sequence in Norwegian, and is treated as a single onset.
