This description of prosodic markers in ASL interpretation contributes to the extremely limited literature on the use of prosody in signed languages (e.g., Baker & Padden, 1978; Boyes-Braem, 1999; Liddell, 1986; Sandler, 1999c), and is also unusual in focusing on the use of phrasing in interpretation. The results presented here provide support for the claim that prosodic structure is exploited in all human languages, regardless of the modality of expression.
Prosody and Meaning

Based on the Workshop on Prosody and Meaning in Barcelona on September 17-18, 2009, this volume brings together researchers working on issues of the prosodic encoding and expression of sentence-level meaning. The contributions to the book result from a vivid exchange of research ideas and research methodologies on issues related to the relationship between prosody and meaning and from stimulating discussions and collaborative work between researchers coming from different perspectives.
