原型指向手势指向外部的具体物体、人或世界上的位置。但在日常话语中，指向手势通常也指向内部，指向身体。身体导向的手势与各种口头指示物共同产生，从人称代词（我，我们）到经验概念（信仰，本能），在手形和运动模式中表现出广泛但有动机的变化，并涉及概念过程，其在共同言语手势中的流行程度在很大程度上未经检验。基于Tavis Smiley Show的40个一对一访谈语料库，介绍了身体指向手势的三种变体--自我点、身体点和身体锚，并对每种变体的符号学和形态学特征进行了研究。身体导向手势更普遍地呈现了指向手势的多样化子集，为指向及其与言语的关系、日常实时行为中的概念过程以及身体作为锚定各种意义的基础场所的作用提供了新的Vantage。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The prototypical pointing gesture is directed outward at concrete objects, people, or locations in the world. But in everyday discourse pointing gestures are also commonly directed inward, toward the body. Body-directed gestures are co-produced with a variety of spoken referents, from personal pronouns (I, we) to experiential concepts (belief, instinct), exhibit wide but motivated variation in handshapes and movement patterns, and involve conceptual processes whose prevalence in co-speech gesture has gone largely unexamined. Based on a corpus of 40 one-on-one interviews from the Tavis Smiley Show, three varieties of body-directed gestures self-points, body-points, and body-anchors are introduced and the semiotic and morphological characteristics of each variety are investigated. Body-directed gestures present a variegated subset of pointing gestures more generally, affording a novel vantage on pointing and its relation to speech, conceptual processes in everyday real-time behavior, and the role of the body as a foundational site for anchoring meaning of all kinds.
