However, ideas and findings have been scattered across diverse publications in different disciplines, and opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange have been very limited. The editor's aim is to provide an arena for such exchange by bringing together papers on pointing gestures from disciplines, such as developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, sign-language linguistics, linguistic anthropology, conversational analysis, and primatology. Questions raised by the editors include:

Pointing (Gesture) --- Nonverbal communication. --- Communication and culture. --- Non-verbal communication --- Communication --- Expression --- Deictic gestures --- Referential pointing --- Gesture --- Culture and communication --- Culture --- Semiotics
