The aim of the study was to determine the development of syntax in language development of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, who are taught to new dynamic linguistic features with the help of computers. The sample consisted of 70 children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, aged 7-17 years. To assess language development were applied following variables: total number of words used, the total number of different words used, the correct and incorrect statements (sentences) of the respondents. We calculated the basic statistical parameters on which it was found that the experimental program computer teaching children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing gave better results in the development of syntax. Also, canonical discriminate analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in the applied variables between the control and experimental groups the level of statistical significance ofp = 0.000. The results showed a significant improvement of the experimental group and that dynamic computer programming activities, which were challenged participants of the experimental group, contribute to a better linguistic competence of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.

This paper studies speech perception from a cognitive perspective. Context plays an important role in understanding a conversation, thus cognitive contexts are elaborated which includes three parts - forestructure, linguistic context and situational context. The individual ability of language perception depends greatly on the forestructure of his/her own. Linguistic context and situational context provide enough clues of the present conversation for a better understanding. The cognitive processes of speech perception are divided into four steps: sensory mechanisms, recognition, attention, and memory.In the thesis, research methods and cognitive models of processes are also discussed. Top-down theories and bottom-up theories are complementary and both are adopted by researchers. Which theories should be used depends on the specific situation. Interactive Activation Model, often termed as Parallel Distributed Processing (POP) Model or Connectionist Model clearly explains the process of searching for the meaning in the memory. Interactionism and the parallelism are reflected in the searching process.In the last chapter of this thesis, the potential applications of cognitive analysis of speech perception are proposed.
