| Summary: | Bilingualism of a deaf child implies concurrent cognition and usage of sign language, as community language
and oral-voice language as language of greater community in which deaf persons live. Today, most authors
consider that deaf persons should know both of these languages and that deaf persons need to be educated in
both languages, because of their general communication and complete psycho-social development. Through
research on sample of 80 deaf examinees, we affirmed the kind of relation that deaf persons have towards bilingualism,
bilingual way of education and communication. The research results have shown that bilingualism
and bilingual way of education and communication is acceptable to deaf persons and that there is no statistically
significant difference between the sub-samples of examinees. |
