This report describes research that has been undertaken to determine the relationship between word knowledge and word frequency (occurrence in print) in a deaf population. A matching test was designed and administered to 162 deaf students entering the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in the summer of 1976. The results of the study indicate that there exists a relationship between word frequency and word knowledge in a deaf population. The reliability and validity of the technique was tested and seems to provide adequate support for this approach to assessing the vocabulary level of deaf students.
本报告描述了为确定聋人群体中词汇知识与词频（在印刷品中的出现频率）之间的关系而进行的研究。设计了一项匹配测试，并对1976年夏季进入美国国立聋人技术学院的162名聋生进行了测试。研究结果表明，聋人群体中词频与词汇知识之间存在关联。对该技术的可靠性和有效性进行了测试，似乎为这种评估聋生词汇水平的方法提供了充分支持。
