This frame contains words for motions or actions an Agent performs using some part of his/her body. A number of words in this frame occur as blends with Communication, in which the action has an Addressee. For example, Pat nodded at Kim. These examples differ from Communication.Gesture in that no specific message need be expressed, as in She nodded to him to sit down. Since this frame involves a particular type of motion, it contains the frame elements Source, Path, Goal and Area, which originate in the motion frame. All of these frame elements are generally expressed in PP Complements. The boy swung his legs from under the table.
