This article examines the interaction between primary participants and the interpreter in interpreted
conversations. It focuses on how meaning-carrying elements that are not expressed verbally but acquire meaning at the intersection between bodily action, artefacts and speech, are used to negotiate meaning. The article demonstrates the significance of such composite utterances in meaning-making and shows how the interpreter reproduces the interaction between the agents' bodily actions and the verbal dimension. The study presented here is based on observations of authentic institutional conversations with interpreters. The findings suggest that the interpreter often resorts to clarifications and referential specification in composite utterances.
