These characteristics are relevant to the charismatic traits of a speakers' personality since they have been historically conventionalized. It is shown that to present a comprehensive scientific description of the results on a multidisciplinary research into multiple phenomena of a public speaker's charismatic personality's non-verbal behaviour it is reasonable to use among other The author also outlines prospects of a further analysis of the linguistic, psychological, sociocultural, and physiological traits of a speaker.
