Deaf children often have impoverished early language experience when a fully accessible sign language is absent in their environment. In this talk, I will show behavioral and neural findings on the outcomes of severely delayed first language development, with a focus on the use of basic word order in American Sign Language (ASL).

大部分聋娃早期语言输入贫乏，因为他们生长环境中没法接触到手语（95%的聋娃出生在听人父母家庭，即家中没人用手语）。因此，这些孩子第一语言的习得被严重拖后延迟，这样会对孩子语言发展造成什么影响呢？我们主要围绕美国手语基本语序为主题，对美国聋人做了一系列行为及神经实验，报告将展示我们的相关发现。
