Guidelines for Spanish sign language interpreting in religious settings
Abstract
Religious (con)texts are one of the great challenges for interpreters and translators due to the symbolism and language that characterises them. Interpreting into/from sign languages requires considering the modality difference between the two languages. In view of the limited resources available to Spanish sign language (LSE) interpreters, this paper proposes theoretical guidelines for these professionals in this field. For this purpose, Escandell Vidal's (2005) model of human communication was applied and some of her postulates were adapted to sign languages interpreting, complementing them with additional references from different areas. The aim of this document is to serve as a guide for students, professionals, and trainers of LSE interpreting and, consequently, to have an impact on the lives of deaf people.
