Abstract
The article examines the role of the gender factor in the correlation between prosodic means and accentuating gestures in political discourse. The results of the study reveal the gendered nature of the interconnection. Men-politicians use nonverbal means to accentuate words more often than women. Correlation between gestures and such prosodic models as “fundamental frequency + intensity” and “fundamental frequency + intensity + duration” is common for both male and female politicians.
