Abstract
This essay examines a speech by the late Richard J. Daley, then Mayor of Chicago, for its symbolic pattern, event structure, and underlying cultural code. The analysis reveals a meaningfulness in it which was not seen by contemporary critics. Implications are drawn for an understanding of Teamsterville culture and for methods of interpreting deeply cultured speech.Keywords
