Two deaf children of deaf parents were studied over a period of several years for their acquisition of "-ing", "-'s"; "-s", "-d", and the particle "to." Although the children soon perceived the signed forms of these morphemes, they were slow to understand the function of the morphemes. (Author/LMO)

A young child's acquisition of language and language-related skills in two modalities is discussed.

Other advantages are: (1) it is…

Just as minority spoken languages borrow from surrounding majority languages, so British Sign Language (BSL) borrows signs from English.

The end result of borrowing depends on an…
