Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje produkciju figurativnog jezika kod psihotičnog poremećaja. Cilj je rada istražiti figurativni jezik uzimajući u obzir dva modaliteta – verbalni (strukturirani intervju) i slikovni (slikovni podražaji). U istraživanje su uključeni sudionici s dijagnozom shizofrenije (F20) ili akutnom psihozom iz spektra shizofrenije (F23). Prvi dio rada pregled je dosadašnjih psiholingvističkih i neuroanatomskih istraživanja figurativnog jezika, temeljnih karakteristika psihotičnih poremećaja te jezičnih deficita karakterističnih za psihotične poremećaje. U drugom dijelu rada kvalitativnom se analizom podrobnije opisuje pragmatička razina, odnosno produkcija figurativnog jezika. Kvalitativnom smo analizom izdvojili brojne oblike figurativnog jezika na koji se oslanjaju klinički sudionici. Istraživanje pokazuje znatno veći udio figurativnog jezika u verbalnom modalitetu, odnosno strukturiranom intervjuu. Osim toga nismo uočili značajnu razliku u udjelu figurativnog jezika u dvjema vrstama zadataka kojima se ispituje slikovni modalitet. Takva bi neravnomjerna raspodjela figurativnog jezika, s obzirom na prirodu zadataka, mogla ukazati na deficite u teoriji uma, radnom pamćenju i izvršnim funkcijama. Rad doprinosi pomnijem razumijevanju figurativnosti kao konceptualizacijskog sredstva, ali i kao kompetenciji koja se u novijim istraživanjima razmatra kao potencijalni jezični marker.

Abstract (english)

This thesis examines the production of figurative language in psychotic disorders. The aim of the paper is to investigate figurative language considering two modalities – verbal (structured interview) and pictorial (picture stimuli). Participants with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (F20) or acute psychosis from the schizophrenia spectrum (F23) were included in the research. The first part of the paper provides an overview of psycholinguistic and neuroanatomical research on figurative language, the basic characteristics of psychotic disorders, and provides an insight into language deficits characteristic of psychotic disorders. In the second part of the paper, the pragmatic level, i.e. the production of figurative language, is described in more detail through qualitative analysis. We singled out numerous forms of figurative language that clinical participants rely on. The research shows a significantly higher proportion of figurative language in the verbal modality, i.e. the structured interview. In addition, we did not observe a significant difference in the proportion of figurative language between the two types of tasks testing the pictorial modality. Such an uneven distribution of figurative language, given the nature of the tasks, could indicate deficits in theory of mind, working memory, and executive functions. The paper contributes to a closer understanding of figurativeness as a conceptualization tool, but also as a competence that is considered in recent research as a potential linguistic marker.
