This computer-assisted method of discourse analysis (Alceste-software) made it possible to investigate various language disturbances at the same time and at different levels and is particularly adapted for analysing the schizophrenic's speech.
Abstract
This method of discourse analysis made it possible to investigate various language disturbances at the same time and at different levels. It is particularly adapted for analysing the schizophrenic's speech. The data obtained were consistent with the assumption that schizophrenia involves 'thought disorders': these ones giving rise to the language impairments.

Analysis of correlations between syndrome scores and rCBF revealed that each syndrome was associated with a specific pattern of perfusion in paralimbic and association cortex, and in related subcortical nuclei, suggesting that the abnormalities of brain function underlying each of the three syndromes are not confined to single loci, but involve distributed neuronal networks.

A model of language processing is presented that predicts that the incoherence of manic speech is due to shifts from one coherent discourse structure to another, while the ability of schizophrenic speakers to construct any discourse structure is deficient.

In a study of errors observed during a sample of 15 schizophrenics performance on a confrontation naming test, it is able to reliably identify and classify hierarchic categories of verbal perseverations occurring at both semantic and phonemic levels and argues that these perseverations represent a special case of executive dysfunction resulting from a disturbance of language monitoring mechanisms.
