Physical correlates of prosodic structure in American Sign Language
1 Introduction The study of ASL prosody provides insights into the specification of stress, rhythmic structure, and intonation in conjunction with the syntax of a natural signed language.

Neuroimaging and patient studies have suggested similar left hemisphere (LH)-dominant patterns of brain organization for signed and spoken languages, suggesting that the linguistic nature...
