Well, they're not strictly part of the language. That is, you wouldn't
have words or sentences distinguished by body language. One conlang I
read about used body posture along with words to distinguish between
multiple (usually similar) concepts. For example, "leibe", depending on
which posture was used, could mean "difficult", but with other postures
could be more "running down" or "age".
