INTERPRETACIÓN SOCIAL Y ACCESIBILIDAD. UNA PROPUESTA DE CONEXIÓN DISCIPLINAR1

Abstract

The aim of this study is to offer some arguments for the understanding of community interpreting as part of the generic domain of accessibility. By doing so, I do not actually broaden the concept of accessibility, but I rather reinforce what justifies the use of this term, to differentiate a parcel of activity within the general practice of translation and interpreting. In what concerns accessibility, it seems that the label has been used with no prior conceptual delimitation of what it is finally intended to designate by it. In this study I briefly deal with the conceptual clarification, with the aim of including in the set of accessibility practices the specific task of community interpreting.
