	Community Interpreting	Also called Public Service interpreting, this type of interpreting takes place in the following fields: legal, health and local government services, social services, housing, environmental health, and education welfare. In community interpreting, there appear factors which are determinant and affect production, such as emotional content, hostile or polarized surroundings, created stress, the power relationship between the participants, and the degree of responsibility of the interpreter – in many cases more than extreme; even the life of the other person depending, in many cases, on the interpreter's work.	2
	Context	By the term “Context” is understood the minimum stretch of speech determining each individual meaning of a word. The Context individualizes the meaning of the word, brings it out, and reveals the intended lexical-semantic variant. It is in this sense that we say that the meaning of a poly-semantic word is determined by the context. The term Context comprises both the narrow or micro context and the wide or macro context. The Narrow Context implies sentence or even a word combination, e.g.: bright star – яркая звезда; bright wine – прозрачное вино; bright day – светлый день; bright reply – блестящий ответ; a bright boy – способный, смышленый мальчик.	3
