This is a critical discourse analysis of selected political speeches of some females' and males' politicians from different cultures i.e. European, American, African and Asian. Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Julia Gillard, Halimah Yacoub are the representatives for the female gender, while Donald Trump, Michael D Higgin, Cyril Ramaphosa and Antonio Guterres are the male's representatives. The speeches are chosen according to two main themes to be precisely examined. The first is the theme of accepting the nomination and the second is the theme of women role and feminine issues in society. This study aims to spot the light over the different verbal choices variation between males and females' standard political speeches. It aims to explain how those verbal choices signifies different aspects. The study also shows that although the selected speeches are political ones that uses the standard form of the language; there is still a variation that occurs due to the difference in gender. A lot of studies were done examining the political discourses of those politicians; however, this study is different from the other previous studies in the sense that it focuses on examining the verbal variation between genders using corpus linguistics and in the light of Halliday's transitivity.
