ExpressingFarewell
Any instance of Expressing an acknowledgment of a person's departure. Note that this class is not a subclass of LinguisticCommunication, because it covers gestures of departure, e.g. Waving and Nodding in certain circumstances.
Relationships      
Parents Expressing Instances of this Class express a state of the agent.For example, Jane thanked Barbara for the present she had given her. The thanking in this case expresses the gratitude of Jane towards Barbara. Note that Expressing, unlike the other speech act types, is not a subclass of LinguisticCommunication.This is because emotions, for example, can be expressed without language, e.g. by smiling.
