Abstract

Propositional analysis of text, including the generation of proposition density ratios, is examined within the context of Alzheimer's research. A discussion of linguistic modularity raises questions regarding the outcomes of propositional analysis and its applications in Alzheimer's research.

► PDR reliably predicts later Alzheimer's disease. ► PDR is based on an autonomous, modular syntax. ► Automated PDR is highly reliable. ► There is some question what PDR is measuring.
