| Sumario: | Nowadays, sign language and oral language interpreting is increasingly taking its place in the supply and demand for translation services in our country, our region and the world. However, this was not always the case. The complaints from the members of the Deaf sign language communities were neither heard nor addressed, and the linguistic validity of this particular language, which is presented before our eyes in a visual-gestural modality, was not taken into consideration. During the last sixty years, different scientific contributions coming from Human Sciences have allowed a sustained change that favors different proposals of accessibility within a framework of universal design. It is said that this is also the mission of Translation in its calling to break down barriers. The professionalization of sign language interpreters (SLI) represents a remarkable change in the approach to a disregarded working language belonging to a linguistic minority. These and other aspects linked to the socio-historical evolution of this particular translation activity will be addressed at the conference, which is intended to provide a framework of reference for those colleagues in translation and interpreting with other working languages. |
