Abstract

Natural sign languages of deaf communities are acquired on the same time scale as that of spoken languages if children have access to fluent signers providing input from birth. Infants are sensitive to linguistic information provided visually, and early milestones show many parallels. The modality may affect various areas of language acquisition; such effects include the form of signs (sign phonology), the potential advantage presented by visual iconicity, and the use of spatial locations to represent referents, locations, and movement events. Unfortunately, the vast majority of deaf children do not receive accessible linguistic input in infancy, and these children experience language deprivation. Negative effects on language are observed when first-language acquisition is delayed. For those who eventually begin to learn a sign language, earlier input is associated with better language and academic outcomes. Further research is especially needed with a broader diversity of participants.

手语的习得。
如果儿童从出生起就能接触到流利的手语者,那么聋人社区的自然手语的习得时间与口语的习得时间相同。婴儿对视觉提供的语言信息很敏感,早期的里程碑显示出许多相似之处。这种模式可能会影响语言习得的各个领域;这些影响包括手语的形式(手语语音学)、视觉标志性带来的潜在优势,以及使用空间位置来表示参照物、位置和运动事件。不幸的是,绝大多数聋哑儿童在婴儿期无法获得语言输入,这些儿童经历了语言匮乏。当第一语言学习延迟时,就会对语言产生负面影响。对于那些最终开始学习手语的儿童来说,较早的语言输入与较好的语言和学习成绩有关。尤其需要对更广泛的参与者进行进一步的研究。
