41	A critical investigation of deaf comprehension of signed tv news interpretation Wehrmeyer, Jennifer Ella January 2013 (has links) This study investigates factors hampering comprehension of sign language interpretations rendered on South African TV news bulletins in terms of Deaf viewers’ expectancy norms and corpus analysis of authentic interpretations. The research fills a gap in the emerging discipline of Sign Language Interpreting Studies, specifically with reference to corpus studies. The study presents a new model for translation/interpretation evaluation based on the introduction of Grounded Theory (GT) into a reception-oriented model. The research question is addressed holistically in terms of target audience competencies and expectations, aspects of the physical setting, interpreters’ use of language and interpreting choices. The South African Deaf community are incorporated as experts into the assessment process, thereby empirically grounding the research within the socio-dynamic context of the target audience. Triangulation in data collection and analysis was provided by applying multiple mixed data collection methods, namely questionnaires, interviews, eye-tracking and corpus tools. The primary variables identified by the study are the small picture size and use of dialect. Secondary variables identified include inconsistent or inadequate use of non-manual features, incoherent or non-simultaneous mouthing, careless or incorrect sign execution, too fast signing, loss of visibility against skin or clothing, omission of vital elements of sentence structure, adherence to source language structures, meaningless additions, incorrect referencing, oversimplification and violations of Deaf norms of restructuring, information transfer, gatekeeping and third person interpreting. The identification of these factors allows the construction of a series of testable hypotheses, thereby providing a broad platform for further research. Apart from pioneering corpus-driven sign language interpreting research, the study makes significant contributions to present knowledge of evaluative models, interpreting strategies and norms and systems of transcription and annotation. / Linguistics / Thesis (D.

43	銀行聯合貸款業務之經營模式與策略研究-以台灣聯貸市場為例 / The Study of Banking Business Model and Strategy about Syndicated Loan Product – in Taiwan Syndication Market 葉美華, Yeh, Mei-Hua Unknown Date (has links) 政府在1990年開放新銀行申請設立、1991年共核准通過15家新銀行籌設，國內銀行自此即進入百家爭鳴的時代，各家銀行惡性競爭的結果，除了利差不斷降低外，授信品質亦不斷惡化，各銀行資本報酬率直直落，為求生存，遂絞盡腦汁不斷推出各種新型商品以促進客戶擴大信用；聯合貸款業務亦不例外，各銀行有鑑於傳統企業授信漸不能達到應有績效之際，紛紛著重於聯貸業務，於是業務競爭日趨白熱化，如何設計符合貸款企業期望的授信方案，是各銀行贏得聯合授信主辦權的重要課題。因此，企業如何選擇聯合貸款主辦行之影響因素，是各銀行放款經理人亟盼了解的經營知識，而根據這些關鍵影響因素，各銀行為爭取主辦權所擬定的各項經營模式與策略，即是足以決定聯合貸款業務在各銀行未來之發展情形與定位，甚而決定其在聯貸市場所扮演之角色與市場佔有率。有鑑於此，本研究主要以銀行端的角色來探討各銀行針對聯合貸款業務所為之相關措施及其後續之影響結果，並針對國內主要聯貸銀行做個案分析，以了解各銀行所採取的策略及經營方針。聯貸統籌主辦參貸行銀行主辦行管理行倫敦銀行同業拆放市場承銷委任書聯合授信說明書動撥先決條件分銷代銷部份承銷簽約加碼違約事項邀請函聯貸額度截止法律意見書市場訪問交叉違約多數銀行動撥加速條款重大不利變化分離條款先付費用 syndication bookrunner paticipant bank arranger agent LIBOR underwriting mandate information memorandum conditions precedent distribution best effort partly underwritten signing margin dfault events invitation letter financial close legal opinion market sounding cross default majority banks drawdown acceleration clauses material adverse change severability front-end fees
