Inflectional Morphological Awareness of Turkish Deaf Students
Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This study attemptedto determinehow Turkish deaf students acquired inflectional morphological awareness and toinvestigate the possible effects on the development of morphological awareness.100 hearing and 100 deaf participantsattending elementary schools from grades 4 to 8were tested via an online grammaticality judgment task on SuperLab 4.0 software. It wasdeveloped to evaluate participants’ ability to use inflectional morphology knowledge.The findings showed that the inflectional morphological awareness of deaf students doesn’t increase with grade. Generally, Turkish morphology awareness skills of hearing students from 4th to 8th grades were significantly better than deaf counterparts.We proposed that deaf students’ difficulties in understanding the morpho-syntactic relationships in Turkish may be due to negative transfer of morpho-syntactic constraints of Turkish Sign Language (TİD).
