Signs for LANGUAGE DEPRIVATION

Meaning: The lack of daily language exposure that are necessary for the language acquisition processes in an individual usually in a very impoverished environment; language acquisition processes that are taken away from a child, especially an infant.

Variation in meaning or context.

Language deprivation is not uncommon in deaf children who are implanted with cochlear implants (which are not a cure) and are not provided a natural language through eye. As a result, the child is deprived of both languages in either modalities (signing or speech). Many parents are not aware of the bilingual approach.
