| Description | The signs for 15 lexical items were video recorded and analysed for 40 congenitally deaf subjects (hearing loss greater than 91 dB in the best ear) from an Afrikaans oral residential school for the deaf. A uniform and relatively arbitrary sign system was found to be in usage within the school. Comparing these signs with the signs used in an English oral residential school for the deaf, it became apparent that only certain signs for lexical items were similar. Furthermore, a marked difference between the signs for lexical items used by the deaf in the Afrikaans residential school and the "standard South African signs" were found. | |
