The aim of this research was to examine the communication and linguistic competence of a meaningful understanding of the written communication form of deaf persons. In this study, a qualitative method of content analysis was used. The study was done on a sample of 70 deaf respondents. Deaf subjects were divided into two groups. One group wrote letters to another group on a topic of free choice, and the other group responded to the letter. After these correspondences, the letters were analysed in a way to search for understanding the content. Letters were agrammatic with a large number of omitted letters and syntactically difficult to understand. However, children who are deaf, perfectly recognized the context, and responded to letters with understanding. The results of the research showed that the deaf respondents have communication, but not linguistic competence in the written form of communication.
