Television interpreting, although serving the largest population of users, is underexplored compared with conference interpreting or community interpreting by the academic community, not to mention any systematic, in-depth analysis foregrounding or tailored to its salient multimodal features. Drawing on Kress and van Leeuwen’s multimodal social-semiotic theory of communication as well as frameworks established in nonverbal communication and audiovisual translation, this paper moves away from traditional language-based discussions of interpreter-mediated television events and attempts to gain new insights into this essentially multimodal communicative practice through multimodal analysis of data. This paper purports to testify a tentative framework of modal relations of “complementarity”, “dependency”, and “incongruity” which are at work in interpreted television events, with authentic data, amounting to a total length of 5 hours, recorded from live news programmes on Chinese TV. The findings of modal complementarity and dependency clearly point to the essentially multimodal meaning making mechanism involved in the semiotic ensemble that is to be perceived by the audience in a gestalt fashion, which reveals the inadequacy of linguistic approaches to television interpreting.
