    "title": "Effects of Delayed Language Exposure on Spatial Language Acquisition by\nSigning Children and Adults",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Deaf children born to hearing parents are exposed to\nlanguage input quite late, which has long-lasting effects on\nlanguage production. Previous studies with deaf individuals\nmostly focused on linguistic expressions of motion events,\nwhich have several event components. We do not know if\nsimilar effects emerge in simple events such as descriptions\nof spatial configurations of objects. Moreover, previous\ndata mainly come from late adult signers. There is not much\nknown about language development of late signing children\nsoon after learning sign language. We compared simple\nevent descriptions of late signers of Turkish Sign Language\n(adults, children) to age-matched native signers. Our results\nindicate that while late signers in both age groups are\nnative-like in frequency of expressing a relational encoding,\nthey lag behind native signers in using morphologically\ncomplex linguistic forms compared to other simple forms.\nLate signing children perform similar to adults and thus\nshowed no development over time.",
