Abstract

Attempts to diagnose schizophrenia have been grounded in theories concerning what linguistic deviance reveals about mental function. Tuczek's patient ‘Frau M.’ was institutionalized for using a language which mixed German and French elements. The psychiatrist Goldstein cherry-picked her utterances to support his advocacy of frontal lobotomy. Louis Wolfson was subjected to electroconvulsive therapy for his intolerance of hearing or seeing English, his mother tongue. His book lays out his phonetic and translinguistic strategies for converting English utterances into other languages. The evidence provided by these cases of schizolinguistics are significant for present-day understanding of the psychology and philosophy of language.

精神分裂语言学，从图切克的《精神分裂语言的分析》（1921）到沃尔夫森的《精神分裂与语言》（1970）。

诊断精神分裂症的尝试一直以语言偏差揭示心理功能的理论为基础。图切克的病人“M夫人”因为使用德语和法语混合的语言而被收容。精神病学家戈尔茨坦精心挑选了她的话语来支持他对额叶切除术的支持。路易斯·沃尔夫森因无法听或看母语英语而接受了电休克治疗。他的书列出了他将英语话语转换成其他语言的语音和翻译策略。这些分裂语言学案例所提供的证据对于当今理解语言的心理学和哲学具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
