The data in this corpus consist of placement event descriptions in speech and gesture in three groups of native speakers (Dutch, French, German) and two groups of second language speakers (Dutch1 and German1). The data have been collected using a dyadic referential communication task in the form of a Director-Matcher game (Describer-Drawer). The stimuli consisted of 32 placement events distributed over 8 short digitised videoclips. Each clip showed a female actor cleaning up a room, picking up objects from a pile on the floor, and putting them away in different locations. Each clip showed 4 objects being put away. The Describers watched one clip at a time, and when the screen went blank, described the events to the Drawers from memory answering the question 'What did the woman do?'. The Drawers, who had not seen the videos, in turn had a picture of the empty room and had to pencil in the objects in their end locations based on the Describers' descriptions. Only the data elicited from the Describers were of interest. Data from 5 different groups of participants have been collected, transcribed and coded: 1) native Dutch speakers (N=12) 2) native French speakers (N=12) 3) native German speakers (N=12) 4) native Dutch speakers, learners of L2 French (in L2 French) (N=12) 5) native Germans speakers, learners of L2 French speakers (in L2 French) (N=9)
