This database consists of 109 videos of silent gestures that can be regarded as highly systematic within a community of Dutch speakers. These gestures were the most commonly produced by minimally 12 out of 20 participants and thus can be generalised to the Dutch population. Appendix I includes a description of each silent gesture according to their four features: hand configuration, orientation, movement, and place of articulation (Bressem, 2013). Appendix III includes the iconicity ratings of these gestures by a different group of participants. Appendix III also reports the mode of representation (Muller, 2013; 2016), i.e., the type of iconic depiction, of each gesture. Appendix II includes a list of concepts that did not elicit a systematic gesture within our criteria. The zip folders include videos of the 109 concepts that elicited systematic gestures in the formats .mpeg and .mp4. These videos are freely available for public use for non-commercial purposes.
