В данном исследовании изучается невежливость в разделе комментариев новостного сайта BBC English с акцентом на типы условных триггеров невежливости, используемых комментаторами. Также рассматривается влияние компьютерных факторов, включая анонимность и синхронность, на невежливое поведение. Для классификации невежливых действий применялась модель «снизу вверх» триггеров невежливости Дж. Калпепера. С использованием смешанного метода было проанализировано 115 комментариев, содержащих 170 стратегий невежливости. Результаты показали, что комментаторы чаще всего выбирали в качестве мишени писателей, политиков и сам BBC, при этом наиболее распространенными  стратегиями были оскорбления и острая критика, а наименее распространенными – замалчивание и угрозы. Среди угроз наиболее часто встречались персонифицированные отрицательные обращения (категория 1), в то время как персонифицированные отрицательные утверждения (категория 2) и персонифицированные отрицательные упоминания (категория 3) использовались реже всего. Анализ также показал, что анонимность, синхронность и эмоциональное выражение существенно влияют на проявление невежливости в онлайн-комментариях. 

This study investigates impoliteness in the comment section of the BBC English News website, focusing on the types of conventionalized impolite triggers used by commenters. It also examines the influence of computermediated factors, including anonymity and synchronicity, on impolite behavior. J. Culpeper’s bottom-up model of impoliteness triggers (2011, 2016) was applied to classify impolite acts. Using a mixed-method approach, we analyzed 115 comments containing 170 impolite strategies. Our findings reveal that commenters frequently targeted writers, politicians, and the BBC itself. Insults and pointed criticisms were their most common strategies, while silencers and threats were used least often. Among threats, personalized negative vocatives were most frequent, while personalized negative assertions and references were least common. Our analysis further shows that anonymity, synchronicity, and emotional expression significantly shape the manifestation of impoliteness in online comments.
