The experimental material constitutes 50 monological (within dialogical speech) fragments extracted from the film which were pronounced by brilliant British actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Soundtracks under review supplied with phonetic transcription undergone the detailed analysis according to the methods of lexical, stylistic, contextual and functional analysis adopted by the Laboratory of Speech in Odessa Mechnikov National University, including audiovisual, perceptive, statistical calculation of the results obtained and their linguistic interpretation.The results of the present study permit to make the conclusion that speech portrait of Sherlock Holmes is expressed by means of definite structures of versatile lexical composition syntactically and prosodically arranged, having fixed character, emotionally coloured, highly intellectual and aimed to amuse the audience. The finding of research into artistic monological speech considering the communicant’s personality, gender and status is the set of certain prosodic parameters (melodic, dynamic and temporal) accompanied by various gestures. The investigation exposed that every prosodic nucleus coincides with a gesture making Sherlock speech portrait harmonious, unique and interesting.
