The development of contrastiveness in profoundly deaf children's speech.

This paper presents some of the results from a study of certain perceptual and productive characteristics of the speech of a group of 16 severely-profoundly deaf children over a period of 4 years who formed a complete class in an oral school. The extent to which they follow a normal pattern of development is discussed.
