[1] We can point to an object in many ways other than verbally - for example, by shifting your gaze from your interlocutor to the corresponding object. That is, pointing to an object is an action.

[2] Context is not something given from the outside, it is constructed by the subject and in technical language is called a description of the current situation, the content of which depends on the assessment of the importance of incoming information (the most important ones are selected due to the limited capacity of available memory).
