Le abilità linguistiche degli adulti sordi segnanti: uno studio sulla comprensione e produzione elicitata di frasi interrogative in italiano
Abstract
This study analyses the linguistic skills of a group of adult deaf signers in the production and comprehension of Italian wh-questions. Their performance was compared with that of a control group of hearing adults, matched on comparable chronological age. The asymmetries found in past studies are confirmed: subject questions are easier to produce and comprehend than object questions and who-questions are easier than which-questions. Deaf participants performed lower than the control group. This reveals that linguistic development in deaf people does not reach its final stages even in adulthood.
