Sign Langauge Acquisition
- Deaf children try out handshapes like hearing children try out
phones/phonemes to discover the phonological structure of a language
- 8months first word among deaf children (earlier than with speaking
children)
- Facial expressions and gestures are very important
- As the hands as the primary articulators are seen by the child and can be corrected by the parents, articulation can be acquired more easily
-Difficult handshapes acquired later
- Motionese – simplified child directed sign language
