Twenty-four, first-admission, psychotic subjects and 24 control subjects were administered a linguistic instrument to elicit impairments in syntax, semantics, cohesion, and use of metaphors. In the same session, the subjects were also rated on the Scale for Thought, Language, and Communication Disorders (TLC). Results indicated a significant impairment of all four linguistic categories in psychotic subjects. The impairment in semantics, however, was differentiated the most between the patient and control groups. The psychotic patients scored significantly higher on the TLC. Scores of impairment on the linguistic tasks did not correlate with scores on the TLC.
对24名首次入院的精神病患者和24名对照受试者进行了一项语言测试，以引发他们在句法、语义、衔接和隐喻使用方面的损伤。在同一次测试中，还使用思维、语言和交流障碍量表（TLC）对受试者进行评分。结果表明，精神病患者在所有四个语言类别上均存在显著损伤。然而，患者组和对照组在语义损伤方面差异最为明显。精神病患者在TLC上的得分显著更高。语言任务的损伤得分与TLC得分不相关。
