This presentation is guided by the idea that the sublexical components of signs are notexactly meaningless, but contribute to meaning in regular patterns, and are active in thesigner’s mind as a means of lexical creation. Our concern is the combination of a subsetof handshapes with a specific type of local movement –the stretching of the fingers.
