The present dissertation is a theoretical-experimental study on language in
schizophrenia, focusing on the usage of pronouns in written texts produced by
native speakers of English and published on Reddit, considering in addition
syntactic complexity at the sentential level. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder
characterized by a set of heterogeneous dysfunctions, with
language-malfunctioning being one of its main characteristics. In particular,
misuse and misinterpretation of nominal expressions and syntactic-complexity
reduction are linguistic hallmarks of schizophrenia. 78 texts (39 from Reddit users
with self-declaration of schizophrenia and 39 from paired controls) were
automatically collected, manually tagged and statistically compared. The tagging
process was based on syntactic complexity at the sentential and nominal level.
Between-group statistical comparisons showed significant differences, with the
schizophrenic group exhibiting less non-anomalous sentential truncations
(ellipsis) and more anomalous 3Person referential pronouns. This is in accordance
with previous independent studies. Assuming human Grammar to be a
computational apparatus of the cognitive system, we interpret the obtained results
as suggesting that schizophrenia leads to reductions on meaning-building
derivational grammatical processes.
