ACEHI Journal/Revue ACEDA, v21 n1 p30-46 1995
Thirty-eight hearing adults' ability to comprehend English homonyms was evaluated from their transcriptions of two versions of a videotaped story, signed in either a literal sign model (Seeing Essential English 2) or a conceptual sign model (Pidgin Sign English). Participants' transcriptions were more successful after watching the literal version. Results have implications for sign language use with the hearing impaired. (Author/DB)
