Summary/Abstract: In this article we will analyze how political actors - involved in the presidential TV debates - use certain semiotic strategies to manage the relationship between gestures and their ideological orientation. We developed a multimodal analysis for some relevant sequences during the presidential debates from November 2014. For this purpose, we used a Multimodal Professional Analysis Tool, ELAN, which allowed us the annotation and dynamic analysis of the semiotic behavior of the political actors involved in the analyzed sequences.
