    Pointing and placing: Nominal grounding in Argentine Sign Language.Rocío Martínez & Sherman Wilcox - 2019 - Cognitive Linguistics 30 (1):85-121.
    Grounding refers to expressions that establish a connection between the ground and the content evoked by a nominal or finite clause. In this paper we report on two grammatical implementations of nominal grounding in Argentine Sign Language: pointing and placing. For pointing constructions, we also examine distal-proximal pointing and directive force. We introduce the concept of placing, in which a sign is produced at a specific meaningful location in space. Two types of placing are discussed: Placing-for-Creating, in which a new (...)

    Making meaning.Gabriel Waters & Sherman Wilcox - 2002 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (5):644-645.
    This commentary discusses the dynamic systems (DS) approach to communication over an information-processing (IP) model. The commenters suggest that the authors of the target article, in their treatment of the issue, do not identify the central failing of the IP model. Further, it is suggested that the DS approach should include examination of mechanisms in the emergence of symbolic communication.

    Exerting control: the grammatical meaning of facial displays in signed languages.Sherman Wilcox & Sara Siyavoshi - 2021 - Cognitive Linguistics 32 (4):609-639.
    Signed languages employ finely articulated facial and head displays to express grammatical meanings such as mood and modality, complex propositions, information structure, assertions, content and yes/no questions, imperatives, and miratives. In this paper we examine two facial displays: an upper face display in which the eyebrows are pulled together called brow furrow, and a lower face display in which the corners of the mouth are turned down into a distinctive configuration that resembles a frown or upside-down U-shape. Our analysis employs (...)

    Language from gesture.Sherman Wilcox - 2004 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (4):525-526.
    The hypothesis that language began as a multimodal, gestural complex finds support in data from spoken languages on the connection between intonation and gesture, as well as from the process by which intonation becomes codified into grammar. Also, data from signed languages show a similar process at work, in which gestural elements become incorporated as intonation and conventionalized as grammatical markers.
