Nativization, Linguistic Theory, and Deaf Language Acquisition.
Gee, James Paul; Goodhart, Wendy
Sign Language Studies, v49 p291-342 Win 1985
Considers the acquisition of language by deaf children of deaf parents and by deaf children of hearing parents in the light of such linguistic theories as Andersen's "nativization-denativization" and Bickerton's "bioprograms." Findings both support the theories and bring to light complexities that the theories do not exactly explain. (SED)
