Chapter | La valutazione del pronome clitico ‘ci’ in adulti normoudenti e sordi
Abstract
Deaf individuals allegedly show significant difficulties with the comprehension and production of the morphosyntactic elements of oral languages such as Italian. However, while most research focuses exclusively on accusative clitic pronouns, little attention has been drawn to the Italian ‘ci’ pronoun. Therefore, the main purpose of the present pilot study has been the creation of a new test for the assessment of the production of the clitic pronoun ‘ci’ by deaf adults. The task has been tested on a small experimental group of four profoundly-deaf individuals and a control group of 13 hearing subjects, whose results appear to be remarkably divergent.
