EDUCATIONAL INTERPRETING AS A FIELD RESEARCH: BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS AND THEIR BRANDS IN THE NATIONAL FIELD

This study analyzes the development of academic research in the field of sign language interpretation, from 1990 to 2010. We adopted a bibliometric analysis of publications that discuss the interpretation of sign language and educational interpreting. The main purpose of this research was the survey and description of publications in international scientific journals how articulate these studies abroad with research on educational interpretation - EI in Brazil. To this end, we seek to make a crossing of international articles with references present in masters and doctoral researches in Brazil. We note that a very small number of researches make references to these articles on international EI indicating little articulation and debate with the scientific nonlocal published in journals.
