  • distribusjon: dis-tri-bu-sjon. Similar structure, stress on the second syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying weight of the syllables and the inherent stress patterns of the borrowed Latinate roots. "Produksjonsbedrift" has a more even distribution of stress due to the compound structure.

What is hyphenation

Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.

Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
