This review introduces and compares syntactic structures in a variety of sign languages. I first examine ways in which sign languages function like spoken languages, and ways in which they differ. I then briefly discuss what sign languages have in common in the syntactic realm; the rest of the article focuses on how they can differ. Because the level of the simple sentence has been documented extensively, this review emphasizes complex sentences, such as sentential complementation, relative clauses, adverbial clauses, embedded questions, and conditionals.
