Abstract
The article discusses the gender aspect of speech behavior when generating an ironic statement, as well as features of the gestural behavior of men and women when pronouncing irony in an oral spontaneous narrative. As a result of the empirical analysis, some tendencies were revealed in the gestures of men and women when generating an ironic statement, in particular, there was a quantitative predominance in the use of representative gestures, as well as a more frequent use of irony by men in an oral spontaneous narrative.
