In style guides such as The Elements of Style by William Strunk [1], the concept is highlighted as a crucial element in both teaching and practicing effective writing. In this context, syllabication is not merely a linguistic detail but a foundational tool that aids readers in navigating the rhythm and structure of the language, ultimately contributing to a more precise and accessible written form.
