Resum

Los estudios sobre individuos bilingües que actúan como intérpretes para la familia, si bien no se concentran en el desarrollo de aptitudes de traducción e interpretación, contribuyen a nuestro entendimiento acerca de las experiencias de vida que han tenido estos individuos que comienzan a interpretar a edades tempranas (Valdés y Angelelli 2003). Con la excepción de algunas investigaciones (Harris 1977, 1978, 1980, 1992; Toury 1984, 1995) se sabe muy poco acerca de las experiencias de los intérpretes jóvenes y acerca de su socialización como intérpretes de la familia. Dado que muchos de los intérpretes comunitarios de hoy han servido como intérpretes de familia cuando eran pequeños o adolescentes, el poder aprender acerca de las vidas y experiencias de estos individuos permitiría a los investigadores (como así también a los profesores de interpretación) comprender el habitus y la ideología de aquellas personas que podrían asistir a clases de interpretación o que trabajarían como intérpretes. Este trabajo explora algunas de las experiencias y percepciones así como también las controversias que despierta dicho papel y finaliza con algunas sugerencias para incorporar tareas de traducción o interpretación en las escuelas.
