Due to the participatory nature of Web 2.0, polite communication on social
media and news sites can stand side by side with uncivil comments. Research on online
incivility has been conducted with users reading in their mother tongues (L1), while the
potential effects of incivility in a second language (L2) have been largely under-
explored. This paper analyzes the effects of uncivil comments written in an L2 on
attitudes around emerging technologies. Accordingly, study 1 replicates and extends a
previous experiment on the effects of incivility to online news on risk perceptions of
nanotechnology (Anderson et al., 2014), by adding an ‘L2 condition’ (uncivil comments
written in an L2). Then, study 2 analyzes the effect of incivility on four fictitious Twitter
debates around different scientific issues, varying language (L1 or L2), and civility.
Results from both studies show that participants are more likely to endorse claims
written in a civil rather than uncivil manner, but only in the L1. The results contribute to
understanding how online communication is affected by reading in an L2. [-]
