| 摘 要 | It is common for teachers of the deaf to assume that Manually Coded Chinese （MCC） facilitates the learning of Chinese. But it is difficult for deaf students to understand MCC. Asking the question as to why understanding MCC is so difficult for deaf students‚ this study investigated the role of morphological and syntactic factors in MCC comprehension. It was found that the MCC words borrowed from natural Taiwan Sign Language are much easier to understand than words of the affixation or compound type. In addition‚ MCC sentences that preserve spatial syntactic features were easier to understand than sentences that do not. It was concluded that the reason why deaf students have difficulty in understanding MCC is that MCC does not take advantage of the visual superiority of natural sign language. The educators of deaf students must pay more attention to this phenomenon. Key words: deaf students‚ Manually Coded Chinese (MCC)‚ Taiwanese Sign Language (TSL)‚ morphology‚ spatial syntactic features‚ affixation‚ compound |
