Zusammenfassung:This study investigated maternal speech to age-matched and linguistically matched deaf and hearing 2-yr-old and 5-yr-old infants. Maternal speech features that were examined included complexity, selected utterance, and sentence types, repetitions, expansions, utterance acceptability, and fluency.

In addition, child deafness itself seemed to account for other characteristics of maternal speech, and their possible effects on the communicative development of the deaf child were discussed.
