Deconstructing heterogeneity in schizophrenia through language: a semi-automated linguistic analysis and data-driven clustering approach

V. Bambini, F. Frau, et al.

This fascinating study conducted by Valentina Bambini and colleagues examines the speech patterns of individuals with schizophrenia, revealing two distinct linguistic profiles. One group exhibits higher fluency and a rich psychological lexicon, while the other showcases a broader vocabulary but lower fluency. This research emphasizes the complexity of language disturbances in schizophrenia and the importance of using data-driven approaches.
