Abstract. The aim of the research is to describe anti-politeness as a lexico-semantic category with an extended semantic field. The research is conducted using the material of online comments. The paper gives examples illustrating the manifestation of anti-politeness in the Internet discourse, analyses lexico-stylistic characteristics of online comments. The research is novel in that it is the first to distinguish anti-politeness as a separate lexico-semantic category and investigate the relationship between the notions of “anti-politeness”, “rudeness” and “impoliteness”. As a result, the following anti-politeness strategies have been identified: rudeness, obscenity, intrusiveness, boorishness, disrespect, tactlessness, hostility, contempt, arrogance, indifference, mockery, irony and sarcasm. These strategies are implemented in speech with the help of certain linguistic means, including invectives, negative vocabulary, comparisons and metaphors with pejorative components, hyperboles, rhetorical questions, expressive constructions etc. They can be accompanied by non-verbal elements accepted in the Internet environment, such as emoticons, emoji and punctuation marks in the emotive function.
Key words and phrases: понятие «антивежливость», лексико-семантическая категория, интернет-комментарий, коммуникативные стратегии, расширенное семантическое поле «Антивежливость», notion of “anti-politeness”, lexico-semantic category, online comment, communication strategies, extended semantic field “Anti-politeness”
