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).”
Primary and secondary pragmatic functions of pointing gestures (2007, background): “…digit (since it is known that these can have special, elaborated communicative functions such as politeness, denoting features of the target, etc.; Kendon and Versante, 2003; Wilkins, 2003), or (b), arc or tracing movements of the articulator at phase of full extension, apparently representing…”
Cross-cultural variation of speech-accompanying gesture: A review (2009, background): “…in Naples, Italy, at least for different types of hand shapes are used for pointing (index-finger pointing with the palm vertical, index-finger pointing with the palm down, open hand pointing with the palm vertical, and thumb pointing), and they have contrastive meanings (Kendon & Versante, 2003).”

Pronouns and pointing in sign languages (2013, background): “That is, referents of pointing gestures may be real or imagined (Kendon and Versante, 2003), concrete or abstract (McNeill, 1992, 2003; McNeill et al., 1993).”
