Schizophrenia is no doubt one of the most controversial psychotic disorders when it comes to describing the symptomatological characteristics (or syndrome groups) that define it. It has no syndrome-specific pathognomonic sign, and its etiology remains poorly understood (Andreasen & Carpenter, 1993; Tsuang, 2000). A century of inquiries supported by considerable progress, especially recent advancements in electrophysiology, imaging, molecular biology, and even cognitive psychology (evolutionary psychology among others), have not yet supplied the needed answers, in such a way that coming up with a single definition of "schizophrenia" is still impossible. Even today, then, this pathology remains an ill-defined reality. Many studies have suggested that one problem with schizophrenia is its heterogeneity (Heinrichs, 1993), an idea supported not only by the discovery of its multiple clinical manifestations but also and especially because it is difficult to find characteristics or features that are shared by all individuals diagnosed with this disease (Chapman & Chapman, 1989; Goldstein, 1990; Heinrichs, 1993). In this chapter, we will not address the issue of the potential cognitive or neuropsychological processes underlying the symptoms of schizophrenia. Whatever they may be, we believe that the pathology will necessarily be manifest in interactive and discursive settings, whether experimental or clinical; and we hypothesize accordingly that under certain conditions at least in the natural conditions of language use the verbal behavior of schizophrenics is likely to reflect the specificities of the disease (Musiol & Trognon, 2000). Locating and analyzing these specificities, if there are any, should therefore improve diagnosis strategies in the middle term. Based on our view that verbal interaction is the "natural locus of symptom expression" (Trognon & Musiol, 1996), we propose a methodology for analyzing verbal interaction that is inspired by both pragmatics and cognitive psychology. Our aim is, firstly, to detect discourse and dialogue discontinuities as objectively and "decisively" as possible (by "decisively", we mean that there is a high probability of finding pathological dysfunctioning
