Resumo: High levels of linguistic referential failures are associated with liability to develop schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, and it has been shown that these failures can differentiate healthy subjects, high-schizotypal and schizophrenics groups. Nevertheless, few investigations have focused on whether or not schizotypal traits in nonclinical populations can also impact linguistic reference. In Brazilian Portuguese, only one previous study (acceptability judgements task) had been conducted, and its results suggest association between schizotypal traits and a more rigid preference for assignment of specific readings to definite singular DPs. Here, we present another experimental study in Brazilian Portuguese,  a comprehension task designed to examine possible effects of schizotypal personality traits on the interpretation of definite singular DPs. The findings, in line with the previous results, support the conclusion that schizotypy does affect the interpretation of definite singular DPs in Brazilian Portuguese. Together, these two experiments suggest that schizotypal personality traits impact the integration of linguistic contextual information into the semantic meaning of definite DPs. This is  consistent with the general hypothesis that schizotypy, similarly to schizophrenia, is associated with pragmatic difficulties. Yet, our results emphasize that the impact of schizotypal traits on pragmatics can be observed even in healthy (nonclinical) speakers.

Sin embargo, pocas investigaciones se han centrado en si los rasgos esquizotípicos en poblaciones no clínicas también pueden afectar la referencia lingüística. En portugués brasileño, solo se había realizado un estudio previo (tarea de juicios de aceptabilidad), y sus resultados sugieren una asociación entre rasgos esquizotípicos y una preferencia más rígida por la asignación de lecturas específicas a DP singulares definidos. Aquí, presentamos otro estudio experimental en portugués brasileño, una tarea de comprensión diseñada para examinar los posibles efectos de los rasgos de personalidad esquizotípicos en la interpretación de DP singulares definidos. Los hallazgos, en línea con los resultados anteriores, apoyan la conclusión de que la esquizotipia afecta la interpretación de DP singulares definidos en portugués brasileño. Juntos, estos dos experimentos sugieren que los rasgos de personalidad esquizotípicos impactan en la integración de la información contextual lingüística en el significado semántico de DP definidos. Esto es consistente con la hipótesis general de que la esquizotipia, al igual que la esquizofrenia, está asociada con dificultades pragmáticas. Sin embargo, nuestros resultados enfatizan que el impacto de los rasgos esquizotípicos en la pragmática se puede observar incluso en hablantes sanos (no clínicos).Universidade Estadual de Campinas2020-10-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cel/article/view/865875910.20396/cel.v62i0.8658759Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; v. 62 (2020): Semântica, Pragmática e Sintaxe Formais; e020014Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; Vol. 62 (2020): Semantic, Pragmatic and Formal Syntax; e020014Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; Vol. 62 (2020): Semántica, Pragmática y Sintaxis Formal; e0200142447-0686reponame:Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cel/article/view/8658759/23092Brazil; 2020Brasil; 2020Copyright (c) 2020 Cadernos de Estudos Lingüísticoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChaves, Monica de Freitas FriasRodrigues, Cilene2023-07-04T17:35:23Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8658759Revistahttp://revistas.iel.unicamp.br/index.php/cel/PUBhttp://revistas.iel.unicamp.br/index.php/cel/oaispublic@iel.unicamp.br||revistacel@iel.unicamp.br2447-06860102-5767opendoar:2023-07-04T17:35:23Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
