Reported here are the results from the three tests dealing with relativization: processing, embedding, and copying. These tests required the students to make a judgment of correct or incorrect for stimulus sentences. Results for all three tests indicated improvement with increasing age for the 10- to 18-year-old deaf students. The hearing students, although much younger, obtained higher scores on all three tests. Results concerning specific problems in syntax revealed (1) the position and function of the relative clause affected its difficulty; (2) with medially embedded relative clauses, students tended to join the NP of the relative clause with the VP of the main sentence thus misunderstanding the sentence; (3) when conjoining two sentences, students tended to delete coreferential subjects and objects; and (4) the possessive form NP's was accepted by deaf students when the possessive form whose was the correct form.
