Abstract
The article contains the results of the experiment based on perceptual and acoustic methods of analysis and modern computer programs. The author studies relationship between prosodic parameters of different kinds of antonyms and gestures-illustrators with the meaning of contrast in American academic discourse. High degree of correlation between gestures and prosody does not depend either on the kind of antonym, or gender factor. Invariants and variants of gestures with the meaning of contrast are described.
