“…Abnormal syntax has also been reported in schizophrenia by some investigators (Fraser, King, Thomas, & Kendell, 1986; Morice & Ingram, 1982; Tavano et al, 2008), but not by others (E. O. Chaika & Alexander, 1986; Maher, 1972, 1983; Rodriguez-Ferrera, McCarthy, & McKenna, 2001).…”

Thought disorder as well as language and communication disturbances are associated with schizophrenia and are over-represented in clinically unaffected relatives of schizophrenics. All three kinds of dysfunction involve some element of deviant verbalizations, most notably, semantic anomalies. Of particular importance, thought disorder characterized primarily by deviant verbalizations has a higher recurrence in relatives of schizophrenic patients than schizophrenia itself. These findings suggest that deviant verbalizations may be more penetrant expressions of schizophrenia susceptibility genes than schizophrenia. This paper reviews the evidence documenting the presence of thought, language and communication disorders in schizophrenic patients and in their first-degree relatives. This familial aggregation potentially implicates genetic factors in the etiology of thought disorder, language anomalies, and communication disturbances in schizophrenia families. We also present two examples of ways in which thought, language and communication disorders can enrich genetic studies, including those involving schizophrenia.

Kraepelin considered "derailments in the train of thought," which he named "akataphasia," to be a fundamental characteristic of the dementia of dementia praecox (Kraepelin, 1896(Kraepelin, /1919. Manifestations of derailment included loosening of associations ("the most different ideas follow one another with most bewildering want of connection..." p. 56) and incoherence ("bewilderingly nonsensical utterances ... apparently represent a senseless jiggling of words" p. 71). 1 Bleuler (Bleuler, 1911(Bleuler, /1950) considered "disorders of association" to be one of the four fundamental characteristics of the schizophrenias. He relegated the more conspicuous psychotic indicators, delusions and hallucinations, to secondary status as "acce...

“…However, in my own research, I found schizophrenicity in speech independent of dialect features. Similarly, in the narrative task I used (Chaika & Alexander, 1986), normal and manic performance were unaffected by social class dialect. Rather, performance differentials were determined by whether a narrator was schizophrenic, manic, or normal.…”

Thus a number of lines of research, represented by Chaika and Alexander (1986), Labov and Fanshel (1977), Lanin- Kettering and Harrow (1985), Rochester and Martin (1979), and Schwartz (1982), were not available to the authors of the present volume.
