This study investigated maternal speech to age-matched and linguistically matched deaf and hearing 2-yr-old and 5-yr-old infants. Maternal speech features that were examined included complexity, selected utterance, and sentence types, repetitions, expansions, utterance acceptability, and fluency. Results revealed more significant differences in maternal speech to age-matched hearing and deaf children than to linguistically matched child groups. In addition, child deafness itself seemed to account for other characteristics of maternal speech, and their possible effects on the communicative development of the deaf child were discussed.
本研究调查了母亲与年龄匹配、语言匹配的2岁和5岁失聪及听力正常婴幼儿的言语交流情况。所考察的母亲言语特征包括复杂性、特定话语、句子类型、重复、扩展、话语可接受性及流畅性。结果显示，与语言匹配的儿童组相比，母亲与年龄匹配的听力正常和失聪儿童的言语交流存在更显著差异。此外，儿童失聪本身似乎也影响了母亲言语的其他特征，并对失聪儿童的交流发展可能产生的影响进行了讨论。
