This function calls the BAS webservice Pho2Syl to create a syllable segmentation on the basis of a phonetic segmentation (created by, for example, runBASwebservice_maus). You can provide the level of your word segmentation, or of any other hierarchically dominant segmentation, via the superLevel parameter. This way, the new syllable items can be linked up into the pre-existing hierarchy. If you do not provide this input, the syllables will only be linked down to the segments.

language(s) to be used. If you pass a single string (e.g. "deu-DE"), this language will be used for all bundles. Alternatively, you can select the language for every bundle individually. To do so, you must pass a data frame with the columns session, bundle, language. This data frame must contain one row for every bundle in your emuDB. Up-to-date lists of the languages accepted by all webservices can be found here: https://clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASWebServices/services/help

named list of parameters to be passed on to the webservice. It is your own responsibility to ensure that these parameters are compatible with the webservice API (see https://clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASWebServices/services/help). Some options accepted by the API (e.g. output format) cannot be set when calling a webservice from within emuR, and will be overridden.
the webApp perspective that the new level will be added to. If NULL, the new level is not added to any perspectives.
If a web service call fails, it is repeated a further n times, with n being the value of patience. Must be set to a value between 0 and 3.
If a previous call to this function has failed (and you think you have fixed the issue that caused the error), you can set resume=TRUE to recover any progress made up to that point. This will only work if your R temporary directory has not been deleted or emptied in the meantime.

All necessary level, link and parameter definitions are created in the process. By default, Pho2Syl is run in word synchronized mode. To override this, call this function with the parameter params=list(wsync="no").
