Metalinguistic Abilities of Young Hearing-Impaired Children: Performance on a Judgment of Synonomy Task.
Borman, Deborah L.; And Others
American Annals of the Deaf, v133 n5 p325-29 Dec 1988
Metalinguistic abilities of 20 hearing-impaired children, aged 4-10, were assessed by asking them to judge synonymy of sentence pairs presented in Signed English, Pidgin Sign English, and American Sign Language. None of the children had developed metalinguistic abilities in any of the sign language systems. (Author/JDD)
