摘　　要：This paper case-studies how three hearing mothers make sense of their own and their deaf children’s experiences from a view of discourse as a social practice.For this purpose,it examines how participating mothers represent themselves and their children in discourse by looking at the frames and footings that emerge from their relationship with each other and with their utterances and by associating findings with the socio-cultural context at large.The analysis indicates that the mothers represent themselves as“pro-active”and“caring”mothers as well as“reluctant”to accept their children’s deafness.Reported speech was the main strategy used in talk to solve conflicting situations and avoid confronting the lack of acceptance of their children’s deafness.
