Summary
Language pathology in schizophrenia is one of the key diagnostic criteria for this psychosis. Schizophasic phenomena seem to belong either to the positive syndrome of schizophrenia, or may be distinguished as a separate syndrome of schizophasia in the clinical picture of schizophrenia. Schizophasia in this sense results from incoherence of utterances and disorganization at the sentence (utterance) level.
