The speech and language training for deaf children at our clinic is performed using a multisensory method, which consists of reception and expression training for sign language and fingerspelling as well as auditory training, lip reading, and written language training (the Kanazawa Method). We have already reported that acquisition of written language is not dependent on oral language, and that written language is easier to learn than oral language for deaf children. In the present investigation, we analyzed the acquisition of comprehensible and expressive vocabulary in sign language and fingerspelling. The subjects were two children congenitally deaf at levels higher than 105dB. Recorded language samples by the age of 48 months were analyzed. Acquisition of sign language was found to be significantly easier than acquisition of oral language. The development of expressive noun words, function words, and Wh-question words in sign language at the early period was almost equivalent to that of hearing peers, and then the sign language appeared transfer to the oral language. These results suggest that early presentation of sign language with written and oral language is effective in the acquisition of communicative attitudes, function words and interrogative sentences which are most difficult for the hearing-impaired. It was shown that early presentation of sign language with written and oral language serves to promote acquisition of oral language.
我们诊所针对聋儿的言语和语言训练采用多感官方法，包括手语和手指拼写的接收与表达训练以及听觉训练、唇读和书面语言训练（金泽方法）。我们已经报道过，书面语言的习得不依赖于口语，而且对于聋儿来说，书面语言比口语更容易学习。在本次调查中，我们分析了手语和手指拼写中可理解词汇和表达性词汇的习得情况。研究对象是两名先天性耳聋程度高于105分贝的儿童。对48个月大时记录的语言样本进行了分析。结果发现，手语的习得明显比口语的习得更容易。早期手语中表达性名词、功能词和特殊疑问句的发展几乎与听力正常的同龄人相当，然后手语似乎向口语转移。这些结果表明，早期将手语与书面语和口语结合呈现，对于获取对听力受损者来说最难的交际态度、功能词和疑问句是有效的。结果表明，早期将手语与书面语和口语结合呈现有助于促进口语的习得。
