Elements with aws as their substitution class are then alternatives for 'allowed-within-sentence'. The 'allowed-within-phrase' group uses this abstract element. Elements with awp as their substitution class are then alternatives for 'allowed-within-phrase'. ********************************************* Structure Elements ********************************************* ********************************************* Elements allowed within a sentence (and not within a phrase) ********************************************* ********************************************* Elements allowed within a phrase ********************************************* In intermediate processing steps, it is necessary to allow those elements destinated to be within a phrase to occur directly under a sentence node (before the phrase node is created!). Therefore, all elements allowed within a phrase are also allowed within a sentence. The pitch baseline declination during a phrase (difference between baseline start and end). Default: ca. -2.5st The pitch range development during a phrase (difference between range start and end). Default: ca. -0.5st
