Resumo: |
This study focuses on questions raised in the course of clinical observation involving patients with dementia, more particularly, the ones with Alzheimer s Disease (AD). It aims at discussing, with particular emphasis, the symptomatic speech manifestations of the common events referred to in literature as anomia or empty speech speech, although grammatically well formed, does not properly convey meaning neither does it establish reference. I departure from a critical review of the literature of the fields of Medicine and Speech Therapy. The assessment of such literature indicated that - despite the variability concerning both the description of speech symptoms in AD and its causes - all studies eventually mention a loss of external reference in characterizing the patients speech. Such common trait between otherwise differing studies is interpreted as being the result of the theoretical assumption of language as nomenclature. It is argued that in such a perspective reduces language to a code which can, as so, be approached through descriptive apparatuses (based either on grammar, pragmatics or semantics). This view on language is associated with the notions of language and sign, sustained by Classical Philosophy, as well as with the notion of psychological subject. It is pointed out that the process of displacement of such notions to clinical fields involves a significant loss of conceptual strength. In this dissertation, I examine different approaches to the speech of AD patients. In order to do so, I assume the theoretical perspective on language which was inaugurated by Saussure a perspective that promoted a discontinuity in the path traditionally followed in the reflections on language (and the sign) in western literature. From this point of view, language is not a nomenclature. Such a statement guided the interpretation of the speech of AD patients presented in this study. As a result of this theoretical approach, it is argued, that the so-called empty speech can be finally recognized as being full of truth the truth of a singular relationship between a speaking-subject and language |
