[Language disorders in schizophrenia]

Psychiatrists, psycholinguists and linguists have been interested in the language disorders of schizophrenia. Physicians have described their semiology. Psycholinguists have tried to show their structural alterations, using standardized tests in the fields of syntax, semantics and more recently, prosody. We try to present Benveniste's and Culioli's Enunciation Theory and Irigaray's works. Only a theory which studies the dynamic aspects of language would be of some use for the analysis of schizophrenic language.
