Abstract
The article at hand reflects the phenomenon of impoliteness in computer-mediated communication (CMC) and aims to point out a research gap: While impoliteness in CMC has hardly been investigated in general, the available studies (cf. e.g. Nishimura 2010; Angouri/Tseliga 2010) regard CMC merely on an intracultural level. Studies with a cross-cultural, comparative perspective on the topic of impoliteness in CMC hardly exist at all, neither do studies investigating the dynamics and implicit and explicit negotiation of appropriate behavioral norms in intercultural CMC situations. Keywords: computer-mediated communication (CMC), a cross-cultural perspective, intercultural communication.
