Wordsmiths needed please.

[Cazza]

Hi all
I need your collective brains to help me with some examples of (I think it's called) concatenation. Google was no help.

What I mean is, phrases where a change in word boundary changes the phrase meaning. E.g:

pea stalks vs peace talks
Ice cream vs I scream
sea defences vs cedar fences
four candles vs fork handles

In case you want to know why? It's for speech and langauge therapy for a little lad who doesn't make his word boundaries clear.

Thanks to anyone who can come up with any more.
