碩士 === 臺北市立大學 === 語言治療碩士學位學程 === 102 === The purpose of the present study is to explore the process of bilingual development of a deaf child of Deaf parents (DCDP) named “Ting-Ting,” who is studying at an elementary school. How Ting-Ting has used her bilingual ability to communicate with others in the real world is also discussed. Qualitative research design was used, and the data was collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation. To analyze the data, the constant comparative method was used, so that “incidents,” “categories,” and “concepts” were generated through a process of inductive reasoning. After the process of data analysis and interpretation, the findings are summarized as follows. Ting-Ting, the same as most of other DCDP, has acquired Taiwan Sign Language (TSL) as her first language, and learned spoken language as her second language, but the two language abilities were developed at almost the same pace. TSL did not impede Ting-Ting’s development of spoken language. However, the time Ting-Ting spent on TSL was much less than on spoken language, and her mother and grandmother urged her to learn spoken language. Therefore, Ting-Ting’s TSL ability is inferior to her spoken language ability, which is different from the cases of most of other DCDP. In spite of this fact, Ting-Ting can still interpret for her Deaf parents between Mandarin Chinese and basic TSL signs, helping them to communicate with the hearing world. When it comes to spoken language development, Ting-Ting shared the same process with hearing children, but slower. Nevertheless, the early sign language development of her is faster than the early spoken language development of hearing children. The communicative mode that Ting-Ting tends to choose at the moment is spoken language. Only when communicating with her Deaf parents does Ting-Ting use TSL. Ting-Ting has adapted well to the hearing world and developed self-identity in it. Although the hearing and Deaf cultures have both been part of her life, it appears that Ting-Ting belongs more to the hearing world.
