Abstract

The aim of the research was to examine the linguistic structure of the written formof communication for deaf children through the use of simple and complex writtensentences, questions asked and answers to questions asked, as well as the extent of theused statements and messages in the form of expression. The study was conductedon a sample of 70 deaf children. As a measurement instrument, letters of deafrespondents were used on topics of their choice. In total, 45 communication contents,written correspondence were analyzed. The content analysis method and the methodof descriptive analysis were used for data processing. The research results haveshown that the questions were not grammatically correct but the respondents understoodtheir essence and adequately responded to them, that although sentenceswere not linguistically properly written, deaf children can use the dialogue in writtencommunication, that the respondents have problems in writing complex sentences butthat there is a possibility of using complex sentences, that the highest percentage ofrespondents did not use complex sentences correctly, but over 17 % of respondentscan use syntaxically correctly written complex sentences in the form of communicationthat deaf children understand the messages in a written form of communication.Deaf children in written communication have communication but not the linguisticcompetence.
