To my knowledge (though I may be incorrect) William Stokoe developed the first three cheremes in American Sign Language, and I believe (though again, I may be wrong) one more was added later to an updated version of Stokoe's original works by a linguist. Cheremes are basically the manual language equivelents to phonomes. The three Stokoe first mentions are: 1. handshape, 2. palm orientation, and 3. movement (or motion.) The fourth one is location. These cheremes are often termed as "paremeters". This study isn't really a movement, but rather a survey or study from the outside looking in. It is a study of manual languages from the linguistic perspective that gave rise to the use of the term "paremeters" in connection to Sign Languages. It is also interesting to note, that one of the most crucial elements of any sign language was practically not studied or ignored by linguists until relatively recently: i.e. facial expression (aka facial grammar.) That is probably because most linguists are hearing. So depending on how old your ASL textbook is, you may see anywhere from three to six parameters (or parts of the sign.) What's the sixth you ask? Body Language! Such as tilting the head foreward or backward, leaning to one side or the other, etc. However, most books these days point to the original four parameters (or should I say the original three cheremes, plus the additional one.) A few are beginning to place the fifth one. These exist in Sign Languages whether we call them "cheremes", "paremeters" or "flowers", (and I don't recommend calling them the latter), so I would not call this a "movement" at all, just a study of the natural evolution of Sign Languages, by modern linguists, interested in the study of manual languages.
