An Investigation of Similarities and Differences in the Syntactic Abilities of Deaf and Hearing Children Learning English as a First or Second Language
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe purpose of this study was to differentiate between two basic positions taken by investigators of the language of deaf children: (1) the process by which deaf children acquire language is different from the process by which hearing children acquire language, and (2) the processes by which deaf and hearing children acquire language are the same or similar. In addressing this issue, the investigator developed a conceptual framework which attempts to organize some of the various factors which might influence the development of language in deaf children. This conceptual framework is only a first approximation to a complete description, but it allowed for systematic study of the problem.
