Parallel Language Development In Deaf And Hearing Children
1,447 words
Much of the past research on language development
has focused on auditory language learned by
hearing children. Recently, researchers such as
Jamieson (1995) and Masataka (1992) have begun to
study whether language acquisition proceeds in the
same manner for deaf children as for hearing
children. Results from studies of hearing children

Can Non-Human Animals Learn and Use a Human
Language Abstract. Language is a phenomenon
typical for human beings only. Numerous attempts

communicate in human language failed. Animals may
communicate on the level of instincts using signs
which express simple natural needs. Some animals
may imitate the human sounds, some may utilize the
system of signs, but this can not be defined as
language. Humans are the only creatures in the
Nature who can com...

Semiotic Class Semiotics is a science, which
studies signs. It can be considered a cross
between philology and philosophy. Perhaps, this is

Film Criticism There are several approaches to the
film criticism and each approach provides us with
certain information about the movie. Altogether,
these approaches allow us to construct a complete

the movie on that subconscious level, which makes
that special impact on the viewer. The word
