We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

    Subject: about hearing kids of deaf adults


    hi all,

    i'm Kaile, a English language research student at National University of Singapore and my thesis topic is on the ''Language learning situation of Chinese hearing children with hearing-impaired adults''.

    So far, i have only managed to locate one article ''hearing children of deaf parents'' (by N. Schiff-Myers) in Language Development in exceptional circumstances. I am having great difficulty with situating my research study within the field of sign language studies because my university doesn't subscribe to journals like American Annals of the Deaf, Volta Review etc.

    Hence, i was wondering if anyone can point me to useful journal articles or books and if possible, send me the articles via my email address hkailehotmail.com.

    thanks very much for your time
