Diplôme Master Lexis? I prefer Mercedes. And sentences with verbs. : How lexis and deixis serve as vehicles for effective communication in English translations of French-language bank annual reports eng 2016 author Noto Kristen 800175 director Jemielity David 114653 This thesis provides examples of cases where lexis and deixis in French to English translations of bank annual report shareholder letters do not align with the discourse found in English-original (“Anglo”) shareholder letters. It identifies potential traps of which translators should be aware, highlights what English translations of shareholder letters should read like based on examples taken from a large corpus of Anglo annual reports, and proposes more-effective translations that translators could use when they come across “red flag” words, phrases, and/or situations. Above all, it considers the impacts of these lexical and deictic choices in terms of the translations' effectiveness as communication.
