What do community interpreting for the Deaf in western societies, conference interpreting for the European Parliament, and language brokering in international management have in common?

The research conducted also tends to indicate that money transfers from Puerto Rico might allow us to grasp the growing economic transnational relationships that are being maintained by varied immigrant communities …
