Demonstratives, joint attention, and the emergence of grammar (2006, background): “For instance, in some cultures lip pointing is very common; lip pointing involves the head and the protruded lips pointing in a particular direction (cf. Enfield 2002; Wilkins 2003).”
Primary and secondary pragmatic functions of pointing gestures (2007, methodology): “Enfield, 2005). 10 Along the same lines, Hayashi (2005) describes the try-marker as a technique for preserving the integrity of the syntax”
A grammar of Lao (2007, background): “Enfield (2001c) is an investigation of lip-pointing (i.e., pointing by jutting the lips out while looking in the direction of the referent), a common practice among the Lao, integrated with the use of demonstratives and other deictic speech elements.”
Pronouns and pointing in sign languages (2013, background): “In some cultures lip pointing is also common (Enfield, 2001; Sherzer, 1973).”
Coordinating with each other in a material world (2005, background): “Depending on the culture, people prefer to point with hands, fingers, thumbs, lips, eyes, or chin (e.g. Enfield, 2001), and when people use their hands, they make further distinctions with hand shapes (e.g. Kendon and Versante, 2003; Wilkins, 2003).”
Cross-cultural variation of speech-accompanying gesture: A review (2009, background): “Lip pointing has been documented in other parts of the world as well, such as in Panama in Central America (Shertzer, 1973), Central Australia (Wilkins, 2003), East Africa (Creider, 1986), and Laos in Southeast Asia ( Enfield, 2001 ).”
Introduction: Multimodal interaction (2005, background): “It is instructive in this respect to note that gestures are frequently held or suspended in the course of their production (Enfield 2004). Such suspensions — which delay the progressivity of the turn/gesture — may play a role similar to pauses occurring at points of maximal grammatical control: they”
