Responses and Nonresponses in a Bound Morpheme Elicitation Task by Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children

Key Points

• This research examines how effectively bound morpheme elicitation captures morphological sensitivity in deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children.
• Evaluated bound morpheme production through elicitation tasks.
• Compared receptive tasks as an alternative assessment method.
• Analyzed responses of DHH children in language assessments.
• Elicitation tasks did not reliably reflect DHH children's morphological sensitivity.
• Receptive tasks showed promise as a valid alternative for assessing linguistic knowledge.
