Abstract
The speech of psychotic senile patients was analyzed grammatically, and compared with that of normal adults and children. Pronouns, verbs and adjectives display the most prominent differences between the senile and the normal subjects. Pronouns are used relatively more often in seniles, verbs also more often, and adjectives less frequently. The implications of these differences are discussed.
