Desenvolvimento linguístico da criança surda: uma comparação entre filhos de surdos e ouvintes

Abstract

This theme aims to analyze the linguistic development of deaf children comparing children of hearing and deaf families. The research is based on comparing the development of deaf children born to hearing and deaf families. We begin by making a literature review in the area of language acquisition based on authors such as Quadros (1997), Grolla (2000) and Quadros and Cruz (2011). Both interviews were pre-structured with a questionnaire and made with parents living in the metropolitan region of Goiânia, in places defined by them. In part they had an independent course at certain times. Marconi and Lakatos (2017) show that it is the analysis and interpretation, based on a solid and well-grounded theoretical foundation, in order to understand and explain the problem that is the object of research study. With this thought, data from the literature review and interviews were compared to analyze the researched linguistic development environments. As a result of the research we found notes that indicate that when the deaf child is born into a listener family, they have communication problems between them and the family, causing language development difficulties due to the lack of interaction between the child and his parents who do not use sign language. and so the child ends up not having access to linguistic input. The deaf child in the deaf family, on the other hand, has a standard language acquisition, as they have access to linguistic input within the family. The research gives clues as to how the environment could be organized for effective language acquisition of deaf children. Thus contributing to all your educational development.
