Abstract

Picture-Print Matching Test (PPMT) evaluates the ability of naming pictures by choosing from among written words, as well as the cheremic, semantic and orthographic processes involved. PPMT was administered to 320 deaf students the 6 and 45 from São Paulo semi-bilingual schools, along with severa! tests such as a receptive sign language vocabulary test (RSLVT) and a reading competence test (RCT). Corroborating the hypothesis that cheremic lexicon links orthographic lexicon to pictorial lexicon, significantly high cheremic paralexias revealed that, when matching print to pictures, deaf students first retrieve signs to label pictutes, and then use those signs to retrieve the corresponding print. Suggesting the validity of t>aralexia-inducing prompts
in PPMT, results showed a negative significant correlation between orthographic paralexias in PPMT and reading competence in RCT, as well as between cheremic para!exias in PPMT and vocabulary proficiency in RSLVT.
