The article, which is focused on creativity in oral multimodal communication, presents the results of the study of the contribution of gestures to metaphorisation in Russian oral monologic speech. Despite a significant amount of research into ‘gesture-speech’ correlation, the characteristics of metaphorisation in the kinetic modality, as well as the contribution of gestures into this process with a view to their dependence on speech and in relation to different languages and types of discourse, remain understudied. The investigation is carried out on the basis of video recordings of monologic speech of native Russian speakers who explained the difference between close synonyms presented to them in pairs. Lexical semantic and multimodal visual analyses of spoken discourse with a kinetic component were employed, which revealed that representational gestures contribute to metaphor in various ways, amplifying, adding to, and replacing the meaning of the linguistic expression they co-occur with. Depending on the role of gestures, different types of metaphorical mappings were also identified, i.e., symmetrical, asymmetrical, multimodal, and cross-modal mappings.
