In this article, the author presents findings from an investigation undertaken for her PhD thesis, titled Pragmatic meaning in court interpreting. An empirical study of additions in consecutively interpreted question-answer dialogues, which centres on consecutively interpreted question-answer dialogues in a courtroom setting. The findings of this paper demonstrate that, when confronted with conversational implicature in an original utterance, court interpreters may resort to a particular strategy for conveying the generated meaning to an end receiver who is unfamiliar with the linguistic and cultural context.
