Simultaneous Acquisition of ASL and Spoken English (In a Hearing Child of a Deaf Mother and Hearing Father).

Prinz, Philip M.; Prinz, Elisabeth A.

Sign Language Studies, n25 p283-96 Win 1979

Reports on an experiment describing the lexical development of a hearing child with a deaf mother and hearing father. Data confirm previous findings that (1) sign emerges before spoken word, (2) acquisition stages are similar in ASL and spoken English, and (3) the child initially develops one lexical system.
