Discourse Rules in the Language Productions of Deaf and Hearing Children.

Marschark, Marc; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v57 n1 p89-107 Feb 1994

Two experiments compared signed and written stories by deaf 7- to 15-year-olds with oral and written stories by hearing age-mates. Found that the signed and oral stories had similar discourse structures as indicated by patterns of causal goal-action-outcome episodes. The grammatical and lexical character of deaf students' written stories lagged behind that of hearing children. (MDM)
