3. Morphemic Analysis:

• för-: Prefix (Swedish), meaning "for" or "in relation to".

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/fœrˈɧæljˌnɪŋsstaˈtɪstɪˌkeːrnas/

6. Edge Case Review:

Swedish allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity in syllabification. However, the rules generally prioritize keeping consonant clusters within the onset of a syllable. The "-sälj-" cluster is a typical example.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is a noun in the genitive plural. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function, as the core morphemes and their stress patterns are fixed.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Grammatical Category: Noun (Common, Genitive Plural)
• Translation: The sales statistics'
• Synonyms: Försäljningsdata (Sales data), försäljningssiffror (Sales figures)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• försäljning (sale): /fœrˈɧæljˌnɪŋ/ - Similar syllable structure, stress on "sälj".
• statistik (statistics): /staˈtɪstɪk/ - Shares the "-statistik" root, stress pattern similar.
• barnens (the children's): /ˈbɑːrˌnɛn/ - Demonstrates the genitive plural "-nas" suffix, but with a simpler syllable structure.

The differences in syllable structure arise from the varying complexity of the prefixes and roots. "försäljningsstatistikernas" has a longer and more complex root and prefix combination.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Swedish favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

11. Special Considerations:

The pronunciation of /ɧ/ (the "sj-sound") can vary regionally in Sweden. This doesn't affect the syllabification, but it can influence the phonetic realization of the word.
