Emerging linguistic evidence points at disordered language behavior as a defining characteristic of schizophrenia. In this article, we review this literature and demonstrate how a framework focusing on two core functions of language-reference and propositional meaning-can conceptualize schizophrenic symptoms, identify important variables for risk assessment, diagnosis, and treatment, and inform cognitive behavioral therapy and other remedial approaches. We introduce the linguistic phenomena of deictic anchoring and propositional complexity, explain how they relate to schizophrenic symptoms, and show how they can be tracked in language behavior.
新出现的语言学证据表明，语言行为紊乱是精神分裂症的一个决定性特征。在本文中，我们回顾了这方面的文献，并展示了一个关注语言的两个核心功能——指称和命题意义——的框架如何能够将精神分裂症症状概念化，识别风险评估、诊断和治疗的重要变量，并为认知行为疗法和其他补救方法提供信息。我们介绍了指示锚定和命题复杂性的语言现象，解释了它们与精神分裂症症状的关系，并展示了如何在语言行为中对它们进行追踪。
