From Lojban to English :
Word: corci [jbovlaste]
Type: experimental gismu (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
Gloss Word: body language
Gloss Word: facial expression in the sense of "generalized"
Gloss Word: gesture
Gloss Word: posture in the sense of "body position; generalized (expressive)"
Gloss Word: signal in the sense of "of the body; gesture, expression, body language, etc."
Gloss Word: stature in the sense of "body position/posture; generalized (expressive)"
Definition: x1 is a gesture/facial expression/body part motion/body
language/expressive (nonverbal or nonvocal)
feature/microexpression/stature/posture/sign/body signal
[nonverbal expression made using only one's body parts and
items on one's immediate person as extensions of the body in
order to communicate; possibly nonlinguistic/extralinguistic]
that conveys/expresses thought/emotion/command/idea x2
(nu/si'o; possibly text and other types) made using body
part/utensil/object/at locus x3 in/by motion/action/means x4
Notes: Must be body-oriented; any other object involved is simply for
the matter of convenience and acts as an extension of the body
(and thus must be on the performer's immediate person at or
near the locus of the gesture). Body language, posturing, and
stature are usually considered to be nonlocalized
(body-general), although they need not be (and technically are
not in general). Must be externally visible and/or internally
sensed. Any non-body-part utensil/item (including clothing)
must function as an extension of the body in the gesture. Need
not be conscious or performed by a person (note that
agent/performer is not mentioned in this definition); can, but
need not, be accompanied by vocalizations (not necessarily
linguistic), but the gesture itself is not primarily
noise-producing. Might include sign language words or cheremes,
although a more explicit word for linguistically organized and
“full” cheremes is preferred (and especially for the sign
language as a whole). x1 is possibly best typed by nu and/or
si'o. x4 might be best expressed as an event; for example, it
could be "the event of the right hand touching the chest near
the heart, with fist clenched" for a salute, whereas/wherein x3
would be merely the fist/hand (and the chest near the heart).
Use "cocygau" resp. "cocyzu'e" for: "x1 (agent resp.
volitional entity) gestures; $x1$ agentively/actively makes
gesture $x2$, communicating $x3$, performed with body part(s)
$x4$ in motion $x5$"; this lujvo uses an unofficial cmarafsi.
Proposed short rafsi: -coc-.
