The paper presents data from a research on the prosody of schizophrenic speech. Our research is based on the analysis of CIPPS corpus, with the criteria used being the same as that in the analysis of non-pathologic spontaneous speech data (Language into Act Theory, L-AcT). In the schizophrenic speech under investigation the identification of utterances in the speech flow by way of prosodic terminal breaks is conserved. On the contrary, differences between non pathological speech and schizophrenic speech concern the pragmatic accomplishment of utterances and the organization of their information structures. Patient D presents a small variation in illocutionary types and the occurrence of information patterning is reduced and less varied in comparison with non-pathological speech. Moreover, in all patients under investigation there is a pervasive usage of echolalia and palilalia.

Abstract
The paper presents data from a research on the prosody of schizophrenic speech. Our research is based on the analysis of CIPPS corpus, with the criteria used being the same as that in the analysis of non-pathologic spontaneous speech data (Language into Act Theory, L-AcT). In the schizophrenic speech under investigation the identification of utterances in the speech flow by way of prosodic terminal breaks is conserved. On the contrary, differences between non pathological speech and schizophrenic speech concern the pragmatic accomplishment of utterances and the organization of their information structures. Patient D presents a small variation in illocutionary types and the occurrence of information patterning is reduced and less varied in comparison with non-pathological speech. Moreover, in all patients under investigation there is a pervasive usage of echolalia and palilalia.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
