Sažetak

The aim of the study was to get general information about the receptive vocabulary in deaf adults. The objective was to establish the existence of any differences, or similarities, in the receptive vocabulary among deaf subjects in relation to: incidence of deafness in the family, the subject’s knowledge of sign language, dominant type of communication within the family, educational integration, self-training, and intelligibility of spoken language. The study was conducted by administering the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-III-HR) on a sample of 22 deaf subjects aged between 19 and 65. Results indicate that there are statistically significant differences in the receptive vocabulary among deaf subjects in relation to the acquisition of sign language, inclusion into mainstream forms of education, self-training, and inteligibility of spoken language. Subjects who had been trained in oral programmes and who learned sign language late had higher scores on the Peabody Picture
Vocabulary Test, as well as the subjects who were integrated into the mainstream education system. Self-training and spoken language intelligibility proved to be the most important factors of higher attainment.
