Mecanismos lingu??sticos (des)favor??veis para a readability das demonstra????es financeiras: uma an??lise das empresas listadas no mercado de capitais brasileiro

Therefore, they have to enhance the language quality necessary to prepare these statements. In this context, there has been an increase in readability studies and a need to increase the written language of financial information. The aim of this research was to verify the (un) favorable linguistic features in financial statements of companies listed in Brazilian capital market, in Brazilian Portuguese. In this regard, the Textual Linguistics was chosen as a basis theory, because it allows the study of grammatical, semantic and pragmatic features of the Language. Based on the proposed aim, a tool was designed ??? a checklist of (un) favorable linguistic features pointed in financial information literature. Two constructs were considered for this end: cohesion and coherence. The favorable linguistic features categorized in the tool are: pause, ellipsis, simple sentences, sentences up to two lines, connectors and substitution. And the unfavorable are: repetition of words, long sentences, complex sentences, lack of parallelism, lack of pause, confused text, words of more than three syllables and jargon. The financial statements of IBRX50 BOVESPA 2015 social year were researched, and, for each one, the Flesch test was applied. It was observed very little variability in Flesch results. Therefore, three companies with the highest Flesch results and three with the smallest were chosen and analyzed in Atlas TI Software, through the codes. For each code, a(n) (un) favorable feature was categorized and observed in the six selected financial statements. All (un) favorable features were detected in the financial statements, in higher or smaller quantity. However, when comparing these results with the Flesch ones, there was no relationship between them. It was expected that companies with higher Flesch for readability would present more favorable features, and companies with smaller Flesch, more unfavorable. Nonetheless, this was not found in the researched sample. In this sense, it could be said that the Flesch test alone is insufficient for Financial Statements readability. It is necessary to consider other qualitative features. / O profissional cont??bil que atua na prepara????o das demonstra????es financeiras, que devem ser claras, precisa considerar o grau de compreens??o do usu??rio que utiliza a informa????o cont??bil. Por isso, deve buscar melhorar a qualidade da linguagem que utiliza na prepara????o dessas demonstra????es. Nesse cen??rio, tem havido um aumento de estudos da readability e da necessidade de melhora na linguagem escrita das informa????es cont??beis. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar os mecanismos lingu??sticos (des)favor??veis nas demonstra????es financeiras de empresas listadas no mercado de capitais brasileiro, no idioma portugu??s brasileiro. Para isso, optou-se pela Lingu??stica Textual como teoria de base, pois ela permite estudar as caracter??sticas gramaticais, sem??nticas e pragm??ticas da l??ngua. Ao considerar o objetivo proposto, foi constru??do um instrumento, que ?? um checklist de mecanismos (des)favor??veis apontados na literatura para as demonstra????es financeiras. Para isso, dois constructos foram considerados: coes??o e coer??ncia. No instrumento, os mecanismos lingu??sticos favor??veis categorizados foram: pausa, elipse, estruturas simples, senten??as de at?? duas linhas, uso de conectores e a substitui????o. E os desfavor??veis foram: repeti????o de palavras, frases longas, estruturas complexas, quebra de paralelismo, falta de pausa, confus??o no texto, poliss??labas e jarg??o. Foram pesquisadas as demonstra????es financeiras do exerc??cio de 2015 das empresas do IBRX50 (BOVESPA) e para cada uma, foi aplicada a m??trica de Flesch. Observou-se pouca variabilidade na nota de Flesch nas empresas. Foram ent??o selecionadas tr??s com maior Flesch e tr??s com menor para an??lise no software Atlas TI, por meio dos c??digos. Para cada um, foi elencado um mecanismo (des)favor??vel. Esses mecanismos foram observados nas seis demonstra????es financeiras selecionadas. Todos os mecanismos favor??veis e desfavor??veis do instrumento foram observados nas demonstra????es financeiras, em maior ou menor grau. Contudo, ao comparar esses resultados com as notas de Flesch, n??o se verificou rela????o entre eles. Esperava-se que empresas com maior Flesch para readability apresentariam mais mecanismos favor??veis, e empresas com menor Flesch, mais desfavor??veis. Entretanto, isso n??o ocorreu na amostra pesquisada. Assim, entende-se que a m??trica de Flesch, sozinha, ?? insuficiente para a readability das Demonstra????es, sendo necess??rio observar outros atributos qualitativos.

MARK TWAIN'S SPEAKING IN THE DARK YEARS (COMMUNICATION, RHETORIC, MOVEMENTS).

STRONG, WILLIAM FREDERICK. January 1985 (has links)
This study examines Mark Twain's use of the spoken word in the last decade of his life. It includes Twain's informal readings, his image manipulation and control, his rhetorical speaking, his methods of speech preparation, and his dictation of the autobiography. Twain's use of oral interpretation is examined demonstrating the influence of the Reading Tour of 1884-1885. He read informally for personal delight and to edit his works. A large part of the dissertation is devoted to the long history of the Twain persona. Particularly does this study focus on Twain's rhetorical persona and the means by which he attempted to maintain the historical Mark Twain while expanding his role to that of political activist. Using a Burkean perspective, Twain's anti-imperialist rhetoric is analyzed. His private philosophy dictated the use of two ratios. Though he did not successfully defeat the imperialists, he was effective in rallying and unifying the anti-imperialist forces. The final portion of this work investigates Twain's participation in the effective campaign to dethrone Richard Croker and Tammany Hall. Attention is also given to Twain's seventieth birthday speech, and his lecture-like dictation of his autobiography. This dissertation concludes that in his final years Twain found happiness in the spoken word, that mode of communication on which he built his career.

Readability of waiver of liability forms used in collegiate intramural and recreational sports programs

White, Benjamin J. 28 May 2002 (has links)
Properly written waiver of liability forms can be an effective tool in decreasing injury liability of intramural and recreational sports programs. In order for a waiver to be effective, (i.e., held up in court), participants must not only read and sign the waiver, but they must understand it as well. Readability, the ease of which text can be read and understood, is an important part of a well-written waiver. Waiver of liability forms should be written at a reading level consistent with that of the intended audience. On average, students read three grade levels below the last grade they completed in school. The highest grade level at which waiver of liability forms written for use in college settings should be the 9th grade. The main goal of this study was to assess the reading level of intramural and recreational sport waiver of liability forms, and compare them to the 9th grade level. Nine NIRSA member schools and nine non-NIRSA member schools from each of the six NIRSA regions were randomly selected for inclusion in this study. Following multiple mailings, the forms received were scanned into a computer, and readability was assessed using the Readability Calculation software (Micro Power & Light, Dallas, TX) for McIntosh. A one-sample t-test was performed to compare the forms to the 9th grade reading level. Forms were written significantly higher than the 9th grade level (t[26]=14.53, p<.0001). An analysis of variance was performed to assess possible moderating variables (e.g., NIRSA membership status and involvement of a risk management team in writing the waiver). No significant differences were found. Font size was also measured, and forms were found to have been written at a significantly higher level then the recommended 12 point font (t[28]=-2.88, p<.01). This study brings into questions the efficacy of waiver of liability forms used in many collegiate/university intramural and recreational sports programs in the U.S. / Graduation date: 2003
