Patients experience pragmatic deficits with a pattern of not being able to speak with a completely clear sentence pronunciation, often repeating sentences, and their speech is slightly slower than normal people in general. However, interlocutors can accept the communication skills of schizophrenic patients because they have good information power. Patients can be invited to talk even though the answer response is chattering according to their wishes as a form of their delusions, and there are some utterances with words with unclear meanings.]]>
