This article presents a study that examined the impact of visual communication on the quality of the early interaction between deaf and hearing mothers and fathers and their deaf children aged between 18 and 24 months. Three communication mode groups of parent-deaf child dyads that differed by the use of signing and visual-tactile communication strategies were involved: (a) hearing parents communicating with their deaf child in an auditory/oral way, (b) hearing parents using total communication, and (c) deaf parents using sign language. Based on Loots and colleagues' intersubjective developmental theory, parent-deaf child interaction was analyzed according to the occurrence of intersubjectivity during free play with a standard set of toys. The data analyses indicated that the use of sign language in a sequential visual way of communication enabled the deaf parents to involve their 18- to 24-month-old deaf infants in symbolic intersubjectivity, whereas hearing parents who hold on to oral-only communication were excluded from involvement in symbolic intersubjectivity with their deaf infants. Hearing parents using total communication were more similar to deaf parents, but they still differed from deaf parents in exchanging and sharing symbolic and linguistic meaning with their deaf child.
本文介绍了一项研究，该研究考察了视觉交流对失聪和听力正常的父母与他们18至24个月大的失聪孩子之间早期互动质量的影响。研究涉及三组采用不同手语和视觉触觉交流策略的亲子二元组交流模式：(a) 听力正常的父母以听觉/口语方式与他们失聪的孩子交流；(b) 听力正常的父母使用全面交流法；(c) 失聪的父母使用手语。基于洛茨及其同事的主体间性发展理论，根据在使用一套标准玩具自由玩耍期间主体间性的出现情况，对亲子互动进行了分析。数据分析表明，以连续视觉交流方式使用手语能使失聪父母让他们18至24个月大的失聪婴儿参与象征性主体间性互动，而坚持仅用口语交流的听力正常的父母则被排除在与他们失聪婴儿的象征性主体间性互动之外。使用全面交流法的听力正常的父母与失聪父母更为相似，但在与他们失聪的孩子交换和分享象征意义及语言意义方面，他们仍与失聪父母存在差异。
