Peer reviewedPrinz, Philip M.; Prinz, Elisabeth A. – Sign Language Studies, 1981
Studies the simultaneous language development in American Sign Language and spoken English by a hearing girl. Findings show: (1) a mixture of oral and manual babbling, (2) a code-switching ability across modalities, and (3) a single syntactic system incorporating rules from both languages but with two separate lexicons.
