Abstract

Sign language interpreters not only work in a ‘community’ context but also are called to conferences on deafness-related issues containing language for special purposes (LSP). In Trieste, within an Italian national research project, one particular area of research has been centred on investigating textual recasting that may take place during English to Italian Sign Language (LIS) interpretation based on the compilation of parallel multimodal corpora in English, Italian and LIS. Electronic analysis of the corpora enabled the collecting and concordancing of specialized terminology and the development of a pilot version of a trilingual electronic terminological dictionary (on CD-ROM). The glossary will contain dynamic imagery of LIS and will provide a useful and innovative tool for future interpreter trainees.
