This monograph describes the development of Rhapsodie, a 33,000-word syntactic and prosodic treebank of spoken French created with the aim of modeling the interface between prosody, syntax and discourse in spoken French. Theoretical foundations and methodological choices are presented and discussed, and compared with other contemporary approaches. Why is a data-driven instead of a corpus-based approach necessary when one wants to model and analyze discourse without neglecting the features typical of everyday speech, in order to capture not only what we say but also how we say it? How can one show that verbal exchange operates as a collaborative enterprise and how can the specific syntactic and prosodic markers of this collaboration be merged? The description proposed in this collective book is of interest for specialists of spoken French studies, and also for scholars who would like to extend Rhapsodie-like annotation schemes to other languages.

A composer with a vastand varied catalogue of works Raff is celebrated as much for his prodigious originality as for his technical accomplishments. A former protégé of Liszt, Raff's Ungarische Rhapsodie Opus 113, pays homage to the Hungarian rhapsody cycle of his former master; equal in style and substance it remains a fitting tribute and a shining example by one of the 19c most gifted virtuosi. ---- Als Komponist mit einer enormen und vielfältigen Werkliste wird Raff für seine erstaunliche Originalität wie für seine technischen Fertigkeiten gefeiert. Raff, ein ehemaliger Schützling Liszts, huldigt mit seiner Ungarischen Rhapsodie Opus 113 den Ungarischen Rhapsodie-Zyklus seines ehemaligen Meisters; in Stil und von der Substanz diesem ebenbürtig stellt sie eine angemessene Anerkennung dar; ein leuchtendes Beispiel von einem der begabtesten Virtuosen des 19. Jahrhunderts.
