“…The increase was at least as large in his chronic schizophrenic sample as it was for the normals. Recent studies have replicated this result and extended it further, using other paradigms (Truscott, 1970;Rochester et al 1973;Carpenter, 1976).…”

“…Variations on Gerver's studies were carried out by Truscott (1970) and Rochester, Harris, and Seeman (1973), all producing similar results. had subjects recall narrative passages that were frequently interrupted and found that schizophrenic listeners, like normal adults and ll-year-old children, recalled adjacent clauses better if the clauses belonged to the same sentence than if they belonged to different sentences.…”

The book published under the same title addressed those precincts of language behavior wherein the interests of the psychologist, psychiatrist, linguist, and speech pathologist showed some tendencies toward convergence. The principal focus was on aspects of language and paralanguage-variously, and on the whole, indifferently referred to as "deviation," "anomalies," "aberrations," or "disturbances" -that occur with sufficient frequency in relation to certain categories of personality disorders that they have long occupied a prominent (and coritroversial) place in the psychodiagnostic process.Language Behavior and Psychopathology (1969) made clear to the reader that it did not deal with such primary patterns of language disturbance as aphasia and stuttering. This was not to deny the relevance of psychopathological considerations in such language disorders. The importance of emotional conflict in the pathogenesis of stuttering had been amply documented, and there was abundant clinical evidence that aphasic patients might react adversely to their lowered or altered capacities'in symbolizing and communicating, even to the extent of exhibiting what Kurt Goldstein called a "catastrophic reaction." Regardless, however, of any psychopathological factors that may be present in aphasia or stuttering, both are essentially linguistic disorders. Their principal symptoms are manifested in vocal speech, and their treatment requires some or a great deal of speech therapy and retraining.On the other hand, as the book sought to emphasize, the linguistic and v vi Preface paralinguistic phenomena that occur as concomitants to conventional psychiatric syndromes might be characterized more accurately as language symptoms than as language disturbances. Clinical descriptions of personality disorders prominently feature descriptions of language and paralinguistic behavior. Anyone questioning this statement need only try to imagine the difficulties presented by the psychodiagnostic assessment of a patient bereft of speech. Much, if not most, diagnostic test behavior is language behavior, and among the chief criteria for gauging therapeutic progress is change in language behavior.If there was a common orientation toward language and communication behavior in the psychopathological context, it expressed itself in two objectives. The first was an attempt to arrive at a precise description of the way or ways that individuals diagnosed as belonging to a particular nos...

“…Truscott (1970) followed a procedure from Marks and Miller (1964) and her results showed, as Gerver's did, that schizophrenic subjects had the same pattern of improvement in recall as medical patient controls. Rochester, Harris, and Seeman (1973) used a version of the "click" experiments taken from Garrett, Bever, and Fodor (1966). In this study, some schizophrenic and normal patients were asked to recognize the location of "clicks" in a series of sentences and others were to recall the locations.…”

Preface viii Preface ing of this book, Mitas Ongtengco has played a major role -supervising the subjects, administering the budget, and cheerfully typing and retyping the manuscript.We are indebted to Michael Halliday and Ruquiya Hasan for their insights into the nature of text and its relation to context and lexicogrammar, which will be evident from our many references to their work. Our debt to H. A. Gleason, Jr., is less obvious, since relevant parts of his thinking remain unpublished. We gladly acknowledge his many hours of helpful discussion. It was, in fact, through one of Gleason's students, Waldemar Gutwinski, that we first became interested in cohesion and its application to szhizophrenic discourse.Finally, we are most grateful to the many subjects who participated in these studies and who so kindly allowed us to examine their talk. The fees they were paid could not possibly compensate them for the time and goodwill they brought to their task.
