wikt chereme Distinguish2 Cheironomy or musical gestures Cherology and chereme , sometimes chireme , from Lang grc hand are synonyms of phonology and phoneme previously used in the study of sign languages . A chereme , as the basic unit of signed communication, is functionally and psychologically equivalent to the phonemes of oral languages, and has been replaced by that term in the academic literature. Cherology , as the study of cheremes in language, is thus equivalent to phonology. The terms were coined in 1960 by William Stokoe at Gallaudet University to describe sign languages as true and full languages. Once a controversial idea, the position is now universally accepted in linguistics. As such, the terminology has been widely discarded ref Seegmiller, 2006. Stokoe, William 1919 2000 , in Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics , 2nd ed. ref , except when the medial differences are important, since phonemes and cheremes as well as graphemes are perceived and processed differently in the brain.
