ASL? English? Which? Comparing Comprehension.
Eagney, Peggy
American Annals of the Deaf, v132 n4 p272-75 Oct 1987
Comparisons of 91 deaf children's (ages 5-15) understanding of 25 sentences presented in American Sign Language (ASL), simplified English, and standard English showed no significant differences in the children's ability to comprehend the three different forms. Findings do not support proposals to substitute ASL or simplified English for standard English. (Author/VW)
