Resumen El propósito de este artículo es mostrar cómo la figura del intérprete de lengua de signos (LS) y la interpretación lengua vocal (LV) w lengua de signos (LS) han evolucionado en la época contemporánea sobre la base de dos factores: 1) el cambio de la situación sociocultural y sociolingüística de la comunidad sorda debido al reconocimiento de la lingüisticidad de la LS y a la dignidad y prestigio que la misma ha adquirido penetrando en contextos antes inaccesibles, gracias a la labor de los intérpretes; 2) las teorías lingüístico-traductivas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX que han demolido la aproximación traslativa tradicional (intérprete caritativo, asistencial) y han llevado a la elaboración y aplicación de nuevos modelos del proceso de interpretación de LS. Debido a la investigación lingüística y traductológica, se ha producido una creciente comprensión del funcionamiento de las LS: esto ha obligado a una constante reconsideración del papel del intérprete de LS y del servicio de interpretación que los usuarios requieren. Las autoras abordan el tema desde una óptica diacrónica y comparativa, partiendo de la realidad sociolingüística italiana y ampliando el análisis a la de otros países europeos.
Abstract This article aims to show how the sign language interpreter and the interpreting of spoken to signed language (and vice versa) have evolved in the contemporary era on the basis of two factors: 1) the change in the sociocultural and sociolinguistic situation of the deaf community, as a result of the recognition that SL is a language just like any other, and due to the dignity and prestige which it has acquired in contexts which were formerly inaccessible, thanks to the work of interpreters; 2) the linguistic- translational theories of the second half of the twentieh century, which have destroyed the traditional approach to interpreting (“charitable” interpreter or helper when providing service), and which have brought about the development and application of new models in the process of interpreting of SL. As a result of research in linguistics and translation studies, there is a growing awareness of the ways in which sign languages work: what is now required is a rethinking both of the role of the interpreter and of the professional interpreting services requested by users. The authors approach the topic from a diachronic and comparative perspective, starting from the sociolinguistic context of Italy, and taking into account that of other European countries.
