Deaf-muteness is a major handicap in the Occident because it brings on many disorders in the child's nerve plexus. On the contrary, in the societies with oral tradition, it seems that this handicap has no effect as far as attainments and functionings in the period of neurobiological and neurophysiological maturation are concerned. Current research suggests that orality circles produce very rich stimuli which develop perceptions and sensory abilities, in correlation with highly diversified abilities of the central nervous system. Moreover oral tradition develop a sign language within the comprehension of the child. Sensorial stimuli and sign language compensate for or remove the effects of deaf-muteness during the neurological maturation and secure a normal harmonious development.
在西方，聋哑是一种主要的残疾，因为它会给儿童的神经丛带来许多紊乱。相反，在有口头传统的社会中，就神经生物学和神经生理学成熟阶段的成就和功能而言，这种残疾似乎没有影响。当前的研究表明，口头传统环境会产生非常丰富的刺激，这些刺激与中枢神经系统高度多样化的能力相关，从而发展感知和感觉能力。此外，口头传统在儿童的理解范围内发展出一种手语。感官刺激和手语在神经成熟过程中补偿或消除了聋哑的影响，并确保了正常和谐的发展。
