A Study of Consciousness‐Raising by Computer
The computer can serve as a consciousness‐raiser by highlighting and correcting students' errors and giving explanatory feedback. In the past, computer feedback was limited to simple error messages that did not tell the learner much more than that he or she was wrong and should try again. Natural language processing, however, allows the computer to actually parse student responses grammatically and to provide feedback that is more detailed and in…
The Language-Learning Situation of Deaf Students
Deaf children often have major difficulty learning the language of their parents, who in the majority of cases are hearing. The principal reason for these problems is limitation of linguistic input reaching the children: The hearing loss itself acts as a drastic filter on the linguistic data, and information obtained from aided residual hearing, as well as from visual sources such as lipreading and signed representations of spoken language, is ty…

Signed Input of Hearing Mothers to Deaf Children
Hearing parents of deaf children are often encouraged to learn a signed code for English and to sign and speak simultaneously with them. The present study sought to determine how consistently a sample of mothers using simultaneous communication signed what they said. Though only one of the mothers had a spoken M LU of more than four morphemes, there were deletions of a mean 69 morphemes per 100-utterance sample.*A mean 40.5 utterances per sample …
