Abstract
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.
