The article deals with repetitions, which occur in the structure of utterances of patients with Alzheimer’s dementia. The studies were carried out using the linguistic material obtained in a group of 120 patients with Alzheimer’s dementia under the research project “Narrative and Its Disorders in Alzheimer’s Dementia. The Scale of Narrative Skills in Alzheimer’s Dementia” (project manager: Dr Aneta Domagała; 39th Ministry of Science and Higher Education competition of research projects). All the distinguished categories of repetitions are present both in the utterances of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s dementia patients. The most undesirable ones (the subject describes the same objects or their features once again, in an uncontrolled, persistent way) are the most common in both groups. At the same time, their intensity increases as the dementia process progresses (for example: in the description of a place there are more than twice as many repetitions in the utterances of moderate-dementia patients than in mild-dementia patients). Out of the studied types of descriptive utterances, the description of a place was one where most pathological symptoms were reported.
