(Abstract) This chapter provides a broad overview of the main devices that are used in signed languages for deictic and anaphoric reference, with a major focus on person reference operations. The chapter highlights and discusses formal features of the indexes used for deictic and anaphoric reference that appear to be markedly influenced by the visual-gestural modality, hence differentiate such indexes from functionally comparable forms in verbal languages. Formal and functional similarities of deixis and anaphora in signed vs. verbal languages are examined from a crosslinguistic perspective, showing that: 1) in spite and beyond relevant differences linked to the substance of the signifiers, deixis and anaphora in sign and speech are more comparable than it would appear at first sight; 2) the comparative analysis of these structures in sign and speech provides special insights on their more general properties and functions in human language systems.
