Martin-- The pointing example is very widely cited but it really needs to
be integrated with contemporary evidence concerning the ontogeny of
pointing. George Butterworth is a key
reference. As formulated by LSV pointing emerges from reaching because the
adult notices it and appropriates the reach into the adult notion of
pointing and the adult interpretation then creates the conditions of the
child to acquire pointing. There appears to be a "natural line"
to pointing that cannot be reduced to reaching. An excellent paper topic for
someone.
