brackets too large in avm too much space before \+ arg-st.tex

[stefan11]

\avm{
[\type*{passive-verb}
 arg-st  & \2 ( \+ < ! PP[\type{by}]$_i$ ! > )\\
 lex-dtr & [\type*{stem}
            head   & verb\\
            arg-st & < \1$_i$ > \+ \2 < NP, \ldots > ]]  
}

Too much space is probably related to langsci@0eda3d3.

On my machine, the parentheses come out a little smaller - they are just about the same size as the angle brackets < > they enclose, which seems just fine.

I tried this:

\avm{
[\type*{passive-verb}
 arg-st  & \1 !( \+ < PP[\type{by}]$_i$  > )!\\
 lex-dtr & [\type*{stem}
            head   & verb\\
            arg-st & < NP$_i$ > \+ \1 < NP, \ldots > ]]  
}

But this results in:

With the < > not typeset as angled brackets and the () in italics.

This applies to (43) as well:

If one escapes the brackets with !(!, they are too small.

@kopeckyf I do not now how to fix this. I cannot even think of a hack. It should just be a normal line of text. The problem is that your code affects my [ ] brackets inside \sliste{ ... } and ! ! does not work inside brackets.

For (43) it works with \sliste:
