Abstract
The article discusses some features of the verbal-gestural behavior of men and women when using invective. Analysis of video recordings in the ELAN program revealed differences both in the amount of invective vocabulary used and in the use of gestures simultaneously with invective vocabulary by men and women. It has been established that in the oral narrative, modern young women generally use invective vocabulary more often, while young men tend to use obscene expressions. When using invective vocabulary with gestures, as well as replacing it with non-verbal components, pragmatic gestures are most used.
