Abstract
The research is aimed at describing the prosodic features of English political discourse, namely the temporal characteristics of an American politician’s speech during the election debate with his main opponent. The closing statements of US presidential candidate Donald Trump in the course of two presidential debates held this year were used as research material. The results of auditory, electronic-acoustic and statistical analyses revealed the specifics of the temporal organisation of speech in English political discourse presented under time constraints.
