Abstract
Vocal laughter fills conversations between speakers with normal hearing and between deaf users of American Sign Language, but laughter rarely intrudes on the phrase structure of spoken or signed conversation, being akin to punctuation in written text. This punctuation effect indicates that language, whether vocal or signed, is dominant over laughter, and that speech and manual signing involve similar mechanisms.
