title: [Language analysis in Alzheimer's disease].
abstract: The evaluation of language in 27 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 34 normal control individuals disclosed abnormalities in all the patients. An aphasic profile was found, although it was difficult to adscribe to any definite form of aphasia, as, while abnormalities were characteristic of transcorticalism, they also were of anomic type; this suggests a specific AD profile. This type of language abnormality did not correlate with patient's age or sex, the months of evolution of the disease, the years of schooling, or the age at the onset of the disease. There was, however, a close correlation with the degree of dementia.
