Due to the deficits of schizophrenic patients regarding the understanding of vague meanings (D. Ketteler and S. Ketteler (2010)) we develop a special test battery called HOLF (high order linguistic function test), which should be able to detect subtle linguistic performance deficits in schizophrenic patients. HOLF was presented to 40 schizophrenic patients and controls, focussing on linguistic features such as ambiguity, synonymy, hypero-/hyponymy, antinomy, and adages. Using the HOLF test battery we found that schizophrenic patients showed significant difficulties in discriminating ambiguities, hypero- and hyponymy, or synonymy compared to healthy controls. Antonyms and adages showed less significant results in comparing both groups. The more difficult a linguistic task was, the more confusion was measured in the schizophrenic group while healthy controls did not show significant problems in processing high order language tasks.
由于精神分裂症患者在理解模糊含义方面存在缺陷（D. 凯特勒和S. 凯特勒（2010年）），我们开发了一种名为HOLF（高阶语言功能测试）的特殊测试组，它应该能够检测出精神分裂症患者细微的语言表现缺陷。HOLF被应用于40名精神分裂症患者和对照组，重点关注诸如歧义、同义、上下位关系、反义以及谚语等语言特征。使用HOLF测试组，我们发现与健康对照组相比，精神分裂症患者在辨别歧义、上下位关系或同义方面存在显著困难。在比较两组时，反义词和谚语的结果不太显著。语言任务越困难，精神分裂症组中测量到的混乱程度就越高，而健康对照组在处理高阶语言任务时没有表现出显著问题。
