“…This ambiguity, however, can be solved by evaluating the semantic relation between the process and the things (Maghsoud, 2018). Nevertheless, when multimodal representation is employed, for exam-ple by using images, ambiguous prepositional phrases do not matter (Delecraz et al, 2020). Based on this previous finding, it can be further interpreted that without the accompaniment of images, prepositional phrases representing circumstances must be patterned correctly and specifically so that the readers can build their correct imagination suitable to the writer's intention.…”

Comprehending the linguistic features of deaf student writers in comparison to those of the hearing group at the further phase helps in providing pedagogical treatment for mitigating the linguistic gap between both. In line with this idealism, the present study aims to reveal the phenomena of prepositional phrase positions and patterns of deaf and hearing students in representing the circumstances of their real-life narratives. Four stories about being chased by a dog were elicited from each of the groups. The analysis was carried out by employing the table adapted from the experiential framework of Halliday and Matthiessen (2004). The findings in general reveal the less flexible positions of prepositional phrases and the less complex prepositional phrase patterns of the deaf group. Though the results of this study might not be absolutely conclusive, at least they portray the insight into the certain tendency between both groups of students in representing the circumstances for their meaning making of narratives. At the further phase, the findings of the present study are expected to provide benefits for language teachers and practitioners in the context of special education especially the case of deafness.
