Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the pragma-linguistic features exhibited by frequent commenters on news platforms, with particular attention to their distinctive cyberidiostyles. It investigates whether these individuals display stylistic consistency across varying topical contexts or they adapt their communicative behavior accordingly. Drawing on a corpus of 201 comments from a news platform encompassing a range of subjects – including politics, health, and climate change – the analysis describes three distinct cyberidiostyles. These styles are conceptualized as integral components of online identity, functioning as “linguistic fingerprints” that reveal underlying personality traits and value systems.
