3. Morphemic Analysis:

• för-: Prefix (origin: Swedish, meaning "for", "in the service of") - functions to create compound nouns.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/fœrˈbɵnːdsˌstyːˈrɛlsɛˌlɛdaˈmœtɛrˌnas/

6. Edge Case Review:

Swedish allows for relatively complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity in syllabification. However, the rules generally prioritize keeping consonant clusters intact within a syllable.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a noun in the genitive plural. Syllabification remains consistent regardless of grammatical function, though stress might be slightly altered in rapid speech.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: The members of the board of a federation or association.
• Translation: "The members of the federation's board"
• Grammatical Category: Noun (substantiv)
• Synonyms: (Context-dependent) styrelsemedlemmar (board members), förbundets styrelse (the federation's board)
• Antonyms: (Difficult to define directly, as it's a specific group)
• Examples: "Förbundsstyrelseledamöternas beslut är bindande." (The members of the federation's board's decision is binding.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• förbundet: /fœrˈbɵnːdɛt/ - "the federation". Syllables: för-bun-det. Similar structure, but shorter.
• styrelsen: /ˈstyːrɛlsɛn/ - "the board". Syllables: styr-el-sen. Shares the "-styrelse-" root.
• ledamöterna: /lɛdaˈmœtɛrˌna/ - "the members". Syllables: le-da-mö-ter-na. Shares the "-ledamöterna" root.

The differences in syllabification arise from the varying lengths of the words and the addition/subtraction of prefixes and suffixes. The core principle of maximizing onsets remains consistent.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Swedish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.
• Consonant Clusters: Complex consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable.

11. Special Considerations:

The double 's' in "förbundsstyrelse" represents a geminate consonant, which affects pronunciation but doesn't change the syllabification. The genitive plural ending "-nas" is a common feature of Swedish grammar and is consistently syllabified.

12. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Swedish pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but the core syllabification remains consistent. Some dialects might reduce certain vowels, but this doesn't alter the syllable boundaries.
