Declarative sentences are typically used to make statements and assertions. There are no special manual signs for declaratives and there are no non-manual markers that spread over the entire sentence to specifically mark it as declarative. However, the non-manual markers that mark other sentence types such as interrogatives are absent in declaratives and this facilitates the perception of a sentence as a declarative.
