| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Study 1 analyzed utterances of a 3-year-old hard of hearing girl during tutorial sessions with her hearing teacher who could use sign language. The girl, who had severe hearing loss, could speak with natural intonation of oral speech with a hearing aid. Twenty-eight spontaneous utterances were obtained during about 40 minute session. Eight utterances were either oral or signed. Of other 20 utterances, 8 showed the perfect correspondence between spoken words and signs. The rest showed the difference between them. Among them 3 sentences accompanied a pointing at the end of them, which showed natural expression for sign language but was redundant and was unnatural word order for Japanese. These non-correspondent bimodal code-blending utterances suggest that for young deaf children who uses oral and sign modes, they may acquire two modes separately. Study 2 discussed the early childhood education and care for deaf children with sign language.
