  • Abstract: This paper aims to contribute to a clearer understanding of the gesture of pointing and, more generally, of indexical reference in human communication. Towards this end, I consider evidence provided by studies on spoken and signed languages, and on the learning of such languages. I highlight different uses and functions that pointing gestures may have as generic, non linguistic attention-directing devices, and as indexes that appear to require symbolic, linguistic abilities. I examine in detail the use of pointing gesture for expressing person reference distinctions as distinguished from demonstrative/locative reference. On these grounds, unwarranted assumptions that hinder both an appropriate analysis of pointing gestures, and appropriate comparisons with vocal indexes (e.g. deictic pronouns and deictic-anaphoric reference systems in speech) are challenged, and a unitary approach to the problems posed by the study of indexical reference in human linguistic and nonlinguistic communication is articulated.
