In English the phonological phrase boundaries hardly ever correspond to
the syntactic boundaries.

[you are in] [my house] [now] (phonological boundaries)

[you [are [in [my house]]] [now]] (syntax boundaries)

[it's my party] [and I'll cry] [if I want to]
[it ['s [my party]]] [and [I ['ll cry [ if [I [want to]]]]]]

I would be surprised if we could not produce similar phenomona for
Arabic.

See Jackendoff 2002.

good luck,
Andy
