Abstract

This article highlights the results of the experimental-phonetic research of intensity functioning as the main part of the dynamic component of intonation in the speeches of high-ranking US Armed Forces female officers in comparison with the speeches of their male colleagues. The intensity parameter research was conducted on the perceptive and acoustic levels. It enabled to define the dynamic characteristics of English military speeches. It was revealed, that the speaker’s gender is not the main factor to influence the intensity realization in military speeches. The specificity of intensity functioning was proven to depend on general conditions of discourse development and individual peculiarities of speakers.
