Deixis, Personal Reference, and the Use of Pronouns by Blind Children.
Perez-Pereira, Miguel
Journal of Child Language, v26 n3 p655-80 Oct 1999
Investigated young blind children's use of pronouns, following blind and sighted children longitudinally and analyzing every spatial deictic term and personal reference term they used (noting reversal errors). Results indicated that blind children began to use personal reference terms as early as sighted children, and use of reversals was not generally characteristic of the language of blind children. (SM)
