SINGULARIDADES DA INTERPRETAÇÃO SIMULTÂNEA, ESFORÇOS E PROCESSOS

Abstract

Based on a qualitative bibliographical approach, supported especially by studies by Dorziat and Araújo, Freire, Lederer and Selescovitch and Lacerda, this study's main objective was to understand the principles, techniques, efforts and processes involved in the work of the interpreter translator for the -duction and interpretation of Portuguese/Libras, as well as verifying the importance of respecting the interpretation time/interval. This led directly to the differentiation between the terms translation and interpretation. Therefore, the importance of this study finds its reason in the fact that the work of the interpreter translator needs to enter the world of meanings of the deaf person. His work is highly dynamic given the nature of the languages, taking into account that Portuguese becomes the second language of the deaf, and that in Brazil there are around 10 million deaf people, according to IBGE, who depend on Libras for their sociocultural interactions. It was possible to verify that the work of the interpreter translator requires knowledge beyond merely linguistic issues of both languages, delving into cultural and formative aspects of Libras, as he works simultaneously with two distinct communicative modalities: Portuguese - oral -auditory; and Libras - visual gesture. This allowed understanding the proposition of deverbalization in the act of translating/interpreting oral language into sign language and assimilating its meaning in the work of the Libras interpreter translator.
