The author tries to analyze the results of research on schizophrenics language during the last thirty years. The almost permanent contradictions of these results leads the author to the conclusion that there is no evidence for a basic disturbance in schizophrenic language. Two hypothesis are proposed to explain the contradictory results 1) the exclusively clinical definition of schizophrenia is of minimal utility as a frame-work for psychometric and linguistic research programs. 2) psychometric and linguistic tests seem to have no reliability to elucidate a phenomenea as complex as the verbal expression of the schizophrenic.
作者试图分析过去三十年里关于精神分裂症患者语言的研究结果。这些结果几乎一直存在矛盾，这使作者得出结论，即没有证据表明精神分裂症患者的语言存在基本障碍。为解释这些相互矛盾的结果，提出了两个假设：1）精神分裂症仅基于临床的定义，作为心理测量和语言研究项目的框架，效用极小。2）心理测量和语言测试似乎不具备可靠性，无法阐明像精神分裂症患者言语表达这样复杂的现象。
