Segment (linguistics)

[edit]

The segmental phonemes of sign language (formally called "cheremes") are visual movements of hands, face, eyeblinks and body. They occur in a distinct spatial and temporal order. The SignWriting script represents the spatial order of the segments with a spatial cluster of graphemes. Other notations for sign language use a temporal order that implies a spatial order.
