In this paper I propose a discussion about discursive and syntactic contexts that allow for varying readings to the pointing signs categories in Libras, and how they could alter anterior proposals (ALMEIDA-SILVA, 2019;2021) I made for the categorization of the pointing signs in Libras. Using data from different types and sources I find that: i. the context of production, if out-of-the-blue or anaphorical, has an influence on the categorial reading of the pointing signs, however ii. coordination of nouns realized in the signing space does not privilege for the demonstrative reading, as I hypothesized. In sum, the categorization proposed by Almeida-Silva (2019;2021) can be maintained without alterations, despite of the varying effects raised from the above contexts.
