Subject:NLP Phonology query

Dear All,
 
I have built the NLP to the Arabic TTS .The syllabification has been  
carried out and the place of the lexical accent has been determined in  
the level of words.  I try to assign the boundaries of phonological  
phrases and the major phrase tone.I have a couple of questions. I would  
be pleased if someone could give me answers for :-
 
1-  where should the reader do pauses during reading? (normal reading ,  
nothing related to semantic or pragmatic factors).
 
2-if i divided the utterance to chunks according to the  
syntactic structures:-
will happen to the stress of the phonological words when they are been  
groped in the phonological phrase?
 and  where would the phrase tone be placed ?
 
my best regards
Hanady Ahmed
