[humanmarkup] PBS-Doc-kinesic

Title: PBS-Doc-kinesic

T I guess no one had much to say on this,
and there sure isn't much to do on it, except some wording changes for
consistency and changing it to humlCommAtts.

      Steppin Lively Now....

      kinesic is a ComplexType element with
the characteristic of being

      abstract and belongs the attribute set
humlIdentifierAtts.

      It is described as Human Movements. It
is also described as a

      vocabulary of body language used to
protray moods and emotions and

      tom emphasize or contradict what is
being said (expressed verbally in

      vocalized language--my own addition).
An example is an interview.

      This element is also given a content of
sequence as a default.

      I think we may want to add a bit of
clarification to what we mean by

      vocabulary. I think what we mean is a
set of specific movements we

      can call gestures, and which need to be
further described by a

      lexicon of gestures, such as
shoulderShrug, headNod, headShake,

      handShake, etc. However, I think this
lexicon needs to be in the

      Secondary Base Schema and is perhaps
the best example yet for why we

      need this division before we get to the
application-area schemata.

      Thoughts?
