The construction and contextualization of meaning in conversation is accomplished through various multi-modal resources. This paper focuses on the quoting gesture (QG) as an embodied resource mobilized for the modification of formulations in Israeli Hebrew conversational media talk. Drawing on interactional approaches to language and embodied action, we show that the QG is deployed (i) to demarcate an affiliated formulation as emanating from another speaker while (ii) indexing the current producer's distancing from particular aspects of meaning associated with the formulation. This generic function is particularized in different contextual environments in which the QG, in concert with verbal, vocal, and additional embodied resources, instantiates different forms and degrees of dissonance with respect to a selected formulation. The analysis proceeds from the more common situation in which the QG is synchronically-aligned with its affiliated formulation to pre-positioned and post-positioned instances of the QG, which serve to project a reserved endorsement of a formulation and repair participants’ alignment toward a previously produced formulation. The modification proposed by the QG orients both to the actional-rhetorical exigencies of the moment and to more enduring aspects of participants’ positioning vis-a-vis co-participants and audiences. Thus, the QG provides a method to calibrate and accommodate different attitudes towards a formulation and to overtly display participants’ accountability for their verbal selections.

对话中意义的构建和语境化是通过各种多模态资源来完成的。本文重点关注引用手势（QG）作为一种体现资源，用于修改以色列希伯来语对话媒体谈话中的表述。利用语言和具体行动的交互方法，我们表明 QG 被部署 (i) 以将附属的表述划分为来自另一个说话者，同时 (ii) 索引当前生产者与表述相关的特定意义方面的距离。这种通用功能在不同的上下文环境中被具体化，在这些环境中，QG 与语言、声音和其他具体资源相一致，针对选定的公式实例化不同形式和程度的不和谐。分析从 QG 与其附属公式同步对齐到 QG 的预先定位和后定位实例的更常见情况进行，这有助于投射对公式的保留认可并修复参与者对以前生产的配方。QG 提出的修改既针对当下的行动-修辞紧急情况，也针对参与者相对于共同参与者和观众的定位的更持久的方面。因此，QG 提供了一种方法来校准和适应对公式的不同态度，并公开展示参与者对其口头选择的责任。
