Summary/Abstract: The article presents issues related to the emergence of the pointing gesture in children’s development, which can be considered the key achievement of the so‑called “revolution of the ninth month”. The authors discuss the significance of the gesture in the context of motor, cognitive‑linguistic and social development. Making a reference to its neurobiological basis, they discuss the development of communication skills that determine the emergence of the pointing gesture.
