This paper deals with the peculiarities of the mimics and gesture accompanying expression of irony in Russian language. The research is based on the multimedia corpus, which includes synchronized audio and video recordings. The recorded material consists of homonymous ironic and non-ironic utterances of various communicative types. We analyzed the paralinguistic phenomena accompanying both types of utterances in speech of 10 Russian native speakers (5 men and 5 women). The obtained results show the difference between mimics and gesture corresponding to the ironic and non-ironic utterances, as well as the their interplay with boundaries of prosodic units and the place of the intonation focus.
