Triana\u00a0Palomo, University Jaume I<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, the role performed by non-professional translators and interpreters in a changing and globalized linguistic landscape, in general, and in migrant-receiving countries, in particular, is fundamental, because these agents cover most of the linguistic needs in the public services of our country (G\u00f3mez & Ivy 2011; Abril Mart\u00ed & Mart\u00edn 2011; Burdeus 2015). The linguistic variety is increasingly growing due to social and political issues (such as immigrants looking for jobs or seeking asylum). The study of the role of non-professional translators and interpreters is therefore definitely relevant. For six years, the translation and interpreting academia has showed a particular interest for this subject of study in a biennial meeting, the International Conference on Non-Professional Interpreting and Translation (NPIT). However, the term \u201cnon-professional\u201d or even its boundaries are problematic: is someone who works as a full-time translator or interpreter a \u201cnon-professional\u201d? Should the professional exercise be limited to those who hold a University degree in Translation and Interpreting, despite the relatively recent appearance of such studies?<\/p>\n

In this contribution, we will explore how scholars in the field of translation and interpreting use those terms and compare that use to the view on non-professional translators and interpreters as set in the legal framework of the Spanish State and in the narratives of professional organizations.<\/p>\n

To this end, we will analyse the contributions to the aforementioned series of conferences about non-professional translation and interpreting; the approved and applicable Spanish law on translation in public services; as well as the publications of the professionals organizations in our State. By doing so, the following questions will be answered:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What is it understood under \u2018non-professional\u2019 translators in translation studies?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What other terms coexist with \u201cnon-professionals\u201d in the academia?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Which terms or groups can be identified in the documentation regulating translators\u2019 and interpreters\u2019 performance in official settings in the Spanish State?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How and when do professional associations refer to this group?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What are the implications of this term when it comes to the performance of non-professionals and their integration into society?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In what ways are non-professionals taken into account by professional associations?<\/p>\n

This research questions lead to the formulation of the following hypothesis: the variety of terms implies a variety of positions on the legitimacy of non-professional translators and their recognised opportunities of performance and integration.<\/p>\n

After building a corpus with the relevant documents, a content analysis will be conducted. The categories used will aim to explain the variety of views and terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
