Reflections on sign language interpreting typology

Abstract

This paper is a literature review that intend to think about the typology applied currently to sign language interpretating. We did not reach a consensus on the terms translation or interpretation and only the use of certain terminology, even without consideration of other broader possibilities of conceptualization, can not achieve the precision we have to pursue so that we can exchange researching in order to promote the dialogue among researchers.
