<DIV><FONT size=2>Deaf teachers (both of whom are native ASL users) who
instructed me in American Sign Language said that it was easy in the deaf
community to pick out whose parents were Deaf and whose parents were
hearing because of their style of signing... they were referring to the
local deaf community where lexical differnces wouldn't be particularly
apparent... so is it an accent that is distinguishing children of Deaf adults
from children of hearing adults?</FONT></DIV>
