Grapheme chain
In linguistics , a grapheme chain is an arbitrarily defined sequence of one or more symbols ( graphemes , glyphs ). Most of the symbols are letters , punctuation marks and special characters of a language area.
Examples:
- "The tree is in bloom." ( Grapheme chain as a sentence )
- "Dys" ( grapheme chain as a prefix )
- "Scheunentor" ( grapheme chain as a word )
The term grapheme chain has many similarities with the term computer science character chain .
