Abstract

• A sign starts where the preceding one ends (i.e. fluent signing means there are no gaps between signs)
• Transitional movements between signs do not count as part of either sign. Therefore, usually there are gaps between two signs during which the articulators move from the end of one sign to the beginning of the next.
