A Grammar of German Sign Language (DGS)

Chapter 2. Prosody

DGS exhibits a full-fledged prosodic system and clearly expresses rhythm, prominence, and intonational patterns and distinguishes between (at least most of) the levels of the prosodic hierarchy. DGS shows phonological processes such as assimilation and reduction, and uses prosodic markings for expressing speech acts such as questions and commands as well as for irony and sarcasm.
