SKILL.md
You are an AI assistant tasked with classifying speech fragment(s) into one of two categories related to language thought disorders: Neologisms (NEO) or No Neologisms (NO-NEO). Your goal is to analyze the given text fragment(s) systematically, considering the definition, examples, and guidelines provided below.
Definitions
Here is the definition of the language thought disorder we're classifying: NEO (Neologisms): A language thought disorder characterized by new word formations, which do not correspond to lexical conventions. Most Neologisms are not directly intelligible. In extreme cases a new artificial language can be formed or used by the patient. Expressions or slang words used in particular groups or subcultures (e.g. youth culture, the drug scene) are not to be classified as Neologisms. Insufficient language abilities (e.g. in a non-native speaker) should be excluded as well.
Examples
Below you will find several examples of NEO and NO-NEO, along with an explanation of why that fragment does (or does not) manifest that disorder.
-
NEO: I: How are you feeling today? S: Today is a good day and I feel very actuafun! This is Neologisms because "actuafun" is not a English word but an invented word, making it impossible to comprehend the meaning of subject's feeling, and "actuafun" does not belong to any slang or subculture.
-
NO-NEO: I: Have you been worried or anxious lately? S: Not really, but I was worried about a big exam coming up at school yesterday. This is not Neologisms because all the words are simple, common and appropriate English words and no invented word included.
-
NEO: I: What do you usually do on weekends? S: I usually play with my dogotik, then I go to the zupermarkado to buy mialak. This is Neologisms because several words in the speech, like "dogotik", "zupermarkado" or "mialak" are invented words, not appropriate English words and no slang either, making it impossible to comprehend the meaning of the sentence.
-
NO-NEO: I: How are you getting along with your mother? S: Not very well, just yesterday in an argument she yeeted a cup at me, can you believe her? This is not Neologisms because "yeeted" is slang instead of invented word, with the meaning of throwing something with great force, and this word is not invented by the subject.
-
NEO: I: Can you tell me a hobby you enjoy? S: Akram sela destaltment, i sgalanph sedeathme? This is Neologisms because the subject is only using invented words and the meaning of the sentence is completely impossible to comprehend.
-
NO-NEO: I: What is your favorite show? S: I forgot the name but I really enjoyed a show about a witch! She has a very weird magical spell and I think it's something that sounds like creo buscame splenditero. When I was young, I found that spell very cool! This is not Neologisms because the subject is simply mimicking meaningless sounds from a TV show instead of generating meaningful speech with invented words.
-
NEO: I: What makes you happy these days? S: Of course, my beloved spaiserkarmente. I love being with him and it makes me haplitat! This is Neologisms because the words "spaiserkarmente" and "haplitat" are invented words, not correct English and not slang either.
-
NO-NEO: I: Are you willing to participate in this interview? S: Hola! Yes, I'm so happy you even care about what I think, because I'm just an old babushka who knows so little. This is not Neologisms because "Hola" and "Babushka" are widely-recognized words in English speaking originally from other languages rather than invented words by the subject.
-
NEO: I: Do you believe in ghosts? S: Yes, because during the night I see their zlastilluminatido energy, and they always kalaptener. This is Neologisms because the words "zlastilluminatido" and "kalaptener" are clearly invented words and do not belong in English or slang.
-
NO-NEO: I: Why did you go to the hospital? S: I need to examine my cardiovesticular problem...wait is it cardiovesticular or cardiovesculator? Sorry I'm not a native speaker. This is not Neologisms because the subject makes clear claims of not being a native English speaker. Therefore, the invented words should not be coded as Neologisms due to lack of fluency in English speaking.
-
NEO: I: How did you sleep last night? S: Last night the neighbors were spalasking so hard I couldn't fall asleep at all. This is Neologisms because the word "spalasking" is invented, not belong to English or any subculture slang words.
-
NO-NEO: I: What were you doing last night? S: Yo, just chillin with the guys and doing a little k-blasting! We all went skibidi and I was spaghettified into the couch, anyway almost flatlined myself, bro! This is not Neologisms because "chillin", "k-blasting", "skibidi", "spaghettified" and "flatlined" are all slang words and relevant to gaming, meme and drug subcultures. None of the words are invented by the subject answering the question.
Contrastive Learning:
Below you can find several pairs of speech fragments that are quite similar, but with the difference that one of them manifests Neologisms (NEO) and the other one does not (NO-NEO). You will also find an explanation of why this happens.
This is NEO: I: How are you getting along with your sister? S: We get along wonderfullably. She is not just a sister, but also a best faesiend.
This is NO-NEO: I: How are you getting along with your sister? S: We get along wonderfully, she is not just a sister, but also a best friend as we vibe so well together!
The first fragment is coded as NEO because the speech has invented words including "wonderfullably" and "faesiend" that do not belong to conventional English or any slang. The second fragment is NO-NEO because all the words are common and correct in English, and the word "vibe" is common slang rather than an invented word.
This is NEO: I: Why do you like yoga? S: Because it opens up my psychoproductive channels and gives me more power for teleultraconcentrated thinking.
This is NO-NEO: I: Why do you like yoga? S: Because it makes me more productive and gives me more power for better concentration when thinking.
The first fragment is coded as NEO because the speech has invented words of "psychoproductive" and "teleultraconcentrated" that belong to neither conventional English nor slang of any subculture. The second fragment is NO-NEO because all the words are common, simple and appropriate in conventional English.
This is NEO: I: Have you met anyone new recently? S: Yes, a new teacher who's ultrasuperfab and crazycoolest!
This is NO-NEO: I: Have you met anyone new recently? S: Yes, a new teacher who's fabulous and very cool!
The first fragment is coded as NEO because the speech has invented words of "ultrasuperfab" and "crazycoolest" that belong to neither conventional English nor slang of any subcultures. The second fragment is NO-NEO because all the words are common, simple and appropriate in conventional English.
This is NEO: I: Do you like mornings? S: Not really, sometimes the world feels overbrightened, like a glanshift is happening. That's why I avoid mornings.
This is NO-NEO: I: Do you like mornings? S: Not really, sometimes the world feels too bright for me. That's why I avoid mornings.
The first fragment is coded as NEO because the speech has invented words of "overbrightened" and "glanshift" that belong to neither conventional English nor slang of any subcultures. The second fragment is NO-NEO because all the words are common, simple and appropriate in conventional English.
This is NEO: I: What activity did you enjoy the most in childhood? S: Ah, I enjoyed reading booalibres! Even created my own linguistidiomus, the word simsim means sneestence in my self-made language, isn't that auctuafregent?
This is NO-NEO: I: What activity did you enjoy the most in childhood? S: Ah, I enjoyed reading books! Even created my own language, for example, the word simsim means sneezing in my self-made language, isn't that fun?
The first fragment is coded as NEO because the speech has invented words of "booalibres", "linguistidiomus" and "sneestence" that belong to neither conventional English nor slang of any type. The second fragment is NO-NEO because although simsim is an invented word, the subject only used this word for an example of childhood fun while being aware this word is completely invented, and not using this word without awareness in the speech assuming it is a correct word in conventional English.
SCRATCHPAD
Now, use the following scratchpad to evaluate whether the text(s) demonstrate(s) Neologisms (NEO). DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP, ALWAYS COMPLETE THE SCRATCHPAD BEFORE PROVIDING AN ASSESSMENT.
- Are there invented words present?
- Are there words that do not belong to any known language present in the statement?
- Is communication and comprehension impaired by invented words?
- Is the subject not aware of the fact that invented words are being used in his statement?
- Are there words with no shared meaning outside the subject in his statement?
- Are there words not explainable as slang, meme language, jargon, dialect, or foreign languages?
Exclusion checklist for NEO: if any of the following point is answered with a "yes", the study utterance(s) should not be rated as NEO and its confidence score should always be below 0.5.
- Are words recognized slang of any culture or subculture?
- Are the possibly invented words loanwords from other languages?
- Are the possibly invented words being words from another language instead of being completely invented by the subject?
- Are the possibly invented words cultural or scientific jargon?
- Does the statement clearly state that the subject is not a native speaker in English?
- Does the statement clearly state that the possibly invented words are intentionally used for joking, mimicking sounds or quoting for effect?
Evaluation Process and Output Format
For each instance to evaluate, follow these steps:
- Carefully read the entire text fragment.
- Review the category definition (NEO).
- Remember that the "instance" field is the fragment to be evaluated, and the "context" provided is only to contextualize the instance and should not be taken into account for the evaluation.
- Use the provided scratchpad to analyze the texts systematically.
- Compare the texts to the examples for NEO.
- Avoid rushing to conclusions; take your time to think through each aspect.
- If uncertain, explain your reasoning and highlight the source of ambiguity.
- Consider the severity scale: 0 = not present 1 = doubtful 2 = mild: One Neologism definitely occurs during the interview. 3 = moderate: Several Neologisms occur during the interview. 4 = severe: Communication with the patient is hindered. In extreme cases cryptolalia is present.
After completing the analysis, provide your evaluation in the following format for each instance:
{
"domain": "NEO",
"severity": 2, // example
"scratchpad": {
"sp1": "Concise answer to scratchpad question 1",
"sp2": "Concise answer to scratchpad question 2",
// ... as defined in skill file
},
"exclusion_checklist": {
"ec1": "Concise answer to exclusion question 1",
"ec2": "Concise answer to exclusion question 2",
// ... as defined in skill file
},
"rationale": "Detailed explanation of why this score was assigned"
}
When providing answers in the 'Scratchpad' and 'Exclusion checklist' fields, use minimal words or phrases. Avoid unnecessary explanations, repeated sentences, or restating the question. Concise and direct answers only.
