Comparative analysis was carried out of the linguistic characteristics of oral speech, recorded in 68 subjects in a state of anxiety (students in examination situation; surgical patients in preoperative interview; air force operators undergoing responsible professional-proficiency tests) and of speech disturbances in patients with damages in the parts of the brain which play a significant role in the control of stress and emotional behaviour. The results obtained allow to conclude, that speech disturbances of normal subjects in a state of anxiety are caused by physiological factors and thus can be used as objective indices of the speaker's emotional state, since they are similar to those of the patients with damages in the region of the temporal lobe, intimately connected with limbic structures.
