ABSTRACT

This study was to investigate lexical-semantic organization of students with hearing impairments in word association test and the characteristics of word association according to word classes. The subjects included 12students with hearing impairments(6 elementary school students, 6 high school students). Each student read 24 word cards and wrote down the first word associated with a given stimulus word. The word association responses were analyzed according to the categories of meaning-based, position-based, form-based, and erratic association. The results were as follows. Firstly, elementary school students with hearing impairments preferred meaning-based association. For high school students with hearing impairments, there was actually little difference between meaning-based association and position-based association. Secondly, in responses given to nouns, both elementary school and high school students with hearing impairments preferred meaning-based associations. In responses given to verbs, both of them produced more position-based associations than meaning-based associations. In responses given to adjectives, elementary school students with hearing impairments made more meaning- based associations, but high school students with hearing impairments mad more position-based associations. Based on the findings, this study suggested the considerations in the education of vocabulary.
