TWO FOLD SEMILNGUISM AND DEIXIS
Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2006, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Deictic words are semantically empty words whose meaning depends on context. Although children with mild mental retardation acquire an adequate usage of deictic words with significant delay comparing to the children with average intellectual capabilities, their performances could be matched with those obtained by younger children with same mental age. The objective of this article is to determine possible differences between monolingual and bilingual participants with mild mental retardation regarding deictic words usage. The sample consisted of 90 participants with mild intellectual disability, of both sexes, aged from 12 to 15. Whole sample was divided into three subsets with 30 participants in each of them. The first two subsets include monolingual children of different ethnical origin, while the third subset includes bilingual participants. Possibility of an adequate using of deictic lexemes was determined by Language corpus for the estimation of the deictic lexemes' usage. Obtained results show that both groups of monolingual participants attained significantly better results than bilingual children with mild mental retardation (p<0.001).
