ListElement
is used to define elements that can be grouped together and treated in a similar manner. The list element itself adds no additional meaning to the realisation. For example, the syntax processor takes a phrase element and produces a list element containing inflected word elements. Phrase elements only have meaning within the syntax processing while the morphology processor (the next in the sequence) needs to work with inflected words. Using the list element helps to keep the inflected word elements together.
There is no sorting within the list element and components are added in the order they are given.
