听力正常父母所生的聋儿接触语言输入的时间较晚，这会对语言产生产生长期的影响。以往对聋人的研究大多集中在运动事件的语言表达上，运动事件有几个事件成分。我们不知道类似的效应是否会出现在简单的事件中，例如描述物体的空间构型。此外，之前的数据主要来自成年后期签名者。关于后天手语儿童在学习手语后不久的语言发展情况，目前还知之甚少。我们比较了土耳其手语已故签名者(成人、儿童)和年龄匹配的本土签名者的简单事件描述。我们的结果表明，尽管两个年龄段的晚期签名者在表达关系编码的频率上与母语者相似，但与其他简单形式相比，他们在使用形态复杂的语言形式方面落后于母语者。晚签约儿童的表现与成年人相似，因此随着时间的推移没有表现出发展。
Deaf children born to hearing parents are exposed to language input quite late, which has long-lasting effects on language production. Previous studies with deaf individuals mostly focused on linguistic expressions of motion events, which have several event components. We do not know if similar effects emerge in simple events such as descriptions of spatial configurations of objects. Moreover, previous data mainly come from late adult signers. There is not much known about language development of late signing children soon after learning sign language. We compared simple event descriptions of late signers of Turkish Sign Language (adults, children) to age-matched native signers. Our results indicate that while late signers in both age groups are native-like in frequency of expressing a relational encoding, they lag behind native signers in using morphologically complex linguistic forms compared to other simple forms. Late signing children perform similar to adults and thus showed no development over time.
