Sound gestures are the synthetic phonologically indivisible communicative signs of national culture, which are only partially represented in the written form by interjections and expressive particles. The nonverbal component of these signs cannot be isolated from its verbal-aural component. Such signs require special systematic semiographic description within the national (in our case - Russian) sound gestures dictionary. The project of multimedia dictionary of Russian sound gestures is described and proposed in the article.
