Abstract
Disturbance of language and communication is considered hallmark feature of schizophrenia, and has disruptive effects for patients in daily life. Assessment of speech and language dysfunction has traditionally relied on subjective evaluation by clinicians and performance-based clinical neuropsychological measures. These approaches can be imprecise in many respects, and this chapter will describe new automated, computerised approaches for assessing semantic, linguistic, and acoustic features of natural language in people with severe mental illness. These approaches involve the potential for both laboratory and ambulatory assessment across a broad range of contexts. This chapter will also highlight the current state of the technology for computational-based language assessment, and discuss potential obstacles to practical implementations.
