Abstract
Background Prodromal or psychotic-like symptoms can be conceptualised as being a sign of vulnerability to psychosis. Recent findings indicate that certain impairments in language precede the first episode of schizophrenia and and are already evident in persons who are considered to be at risk, or seem to run the prodrom phase of the disease. According to the neurodevelopmental hypothesis, these impairments are mostly observed in childhood and adolescence of of individuals, who later manifest the disease, something which supports the notion that delay in the processes underlying the development of language may prexist. There is also evidence that in a crucial developmental stage of schizophrenia, there is a failure of lateralization of the components of language. Also, in some cases, language impairments appear to have a heritable base.
