In Tobi (Tone and Break Indices), the utterance might consist of one intonational phrase, or it can be of two intonational phrases. the intonational phrase can have only on or more intermediate phrases. so is there any authentic source that help me in identifying the way of dividing the utterances into phrases.

Is it the syntactic structure of the utterance? The pauses or silences? Or the semantics and discourse factors like the relation between words?
