Phrase-level prosodic structure #

The φ and ι layers above the prosodic word: Strict-Layer well-formedness one level up ([Sel96]; overview [IK22]). A phrase is a φ-node over well-formed ω-trees; an utterance is an ι-node over phrases. HeadUnique is the culminativity of prominence — at most one head child per node — the structural hook the metrical weak–strong calculus of [buring-2015] reads ([buring-2016]). phrases reads the φ-constituents off an utterance; φ-edges are what demarcative focus reflexes (Semantics.Focus.Reflex.boundary) realize.
