Any opinions in the examples do not represent the opinion of the Cambridge Dictionary editors or of Cambridge University Press or its licensors. Most of the current literature focuses exclusively on the use of deicticgesture or pointing. Pointing with an index finger is probably the most frequent realization of a deicticgesture. Ostensive reference, including pointing, can be achieved with slightly more work than categorizing: uttering a single deictic word together with a deicticgesture. The combination of spoken language along with deictic gestures performs a critical disambiguation function. These results might suggest an important role for deictic gestures in communication but not necessarily a strong link between deictic gestures and language access. Gestures were therefore classified according to the following three categories: iconic gestures, deictic gestures, and conventional gestures. At both ages, monolingual children produced deictic gestures much more frequently than representational gestures. Deictic gestures and gaze behaviour are non-linguistic pragmatic strategies speakers often use in order to indicate intended referents. Deictic gestures might play a temporary role in development, particularly in the early stages of language acquisition, in accessing language. For the purposes of analysis, we collapsed the conventional and deictic gestures as "noniconic" gestures. Deictic gestures indicate only the occurrence of an event or the existence of an object. Similarly, iconic gestures may be more complex than deictic gestures and thus require greater coordination of hands and eyes. The salient change in the children during this time period was that they produced more and more deictic gestures. However, as noted in the previous section, there is no general agreement that deictic gestures are related to language access in adult monolinguals. Because the form of the gesture bears no direct resemblance to its referent, deictic gestures express communicative intent by presenting objects for another's attention. The caregivers produced large numbers of deictic gestures, a smaller number of conventional gestures, and a very small number of representational gestures. The system interprets the user's natural-language speech inputs and deictic gestures (such as pointing) using a stereo-vision system coupled with planning methods and an object-oriented knowledge base.
