How intricate/detailed is sign language, especially where inflection and sarcasm are concerned? Do those exist?

AFAIK they are complete languages with all the features of verbal languages.
I remember an anecdote from my phonology professor who said that in all languages adjacent sounds affect each other, and a student raised their hand and said “what about sign language” and this stumped the professor so much he went and studied this and now he’s the expert of sign language phonology. 🙂
