In\u0000 analyzing large and continuous chunks of conversational data, the first and most important of these borrowings is the speech\u0000 event, for it sets the stage in which the other language elements are embedded and provides a useful sequence for analyzing\u0000 everything else, including the conventional linguistic tools of the grammar and lexicon.\u0000 The present paper represents the optimal sequence of analysis as an Inverted Pyramid, starting with the speech\u0000 event and then moving down the order to schemas, agendas, speech acts, conversational strategies, and finally to the grammar and\u0000 lexicon that are embedded within each other. Two prominent criminal law investigations are used to demonstrate the effectiveness\u0000 of the Inverted Pyramid approach for understanding this evidence.","PeriodicalId":222469,"journal":{"name":"Categorization in multilingual storytelling","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114301714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MCA has been conducted mainly with monolingual data, but in this study I examine\u0000 Hawaiian language media talk by multilingual speakers.
