    Deaf students showed improved grammar skills with age, but hearing children performed better overall. POSS-ing complements were easier for deaf students than for-to complements.

    Area of Science:

    • Linguistics
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Special Education

    Background:

    • Understanding the acquisition of complex grammatical structures is crucial for language development.
    • Deaf students often face challenges in acquiring grammatical competence compared to their hearing peers.
    • Infinitival and gerundive complements represent advanced syntactic structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the grammatical judgment abilities of deaf students concerning infinitival and gerundive complements.
    • To compare the performance of deaf students with that of hearing children.
    • To identify factors influencing the comprehension of complement structures in deaf learners.

    Main Methods:

    • A grammaticality judgment task was administered to 427 deaf students (aged 10-19) and 60 hearing children (aged 8-10).

  • Participants evaluated sentences containing infinitival ('for-to') and gerundive ('POSS-ing') complements.
  • Performance was analyzed based on age, hearing status, complement type, complement function (subject/object), and verb type.

    • Main Results:

    • Deaf students demonstrated a significant improvement in grammatical judgment with increasing age.
    • Hearing children consistently outperformed deaf students across all age groups.
    • POSS-ing complements were judged more accurately than for-to complements by deaf students.
    • The function of the complement (subject vs. object) did not significantly impact performance.
    • Specific verb types also influenced the accuracy of grammaticality judgments.

    Conclusions:

    • Age is a critical factor in the development of grammatical competence for complex complement structures in deaf students.
    • The type of complement (gerundive vs. infinitival) presents differential learning challenges.
    • Further research is needed to explore pedagogical strategies for teaching these structures to deaf learners.
