In view of the less significance that impoliteness triggers have received in the pragmatic studies of impoliteness, the current study aims at showing how impoliteness is triggered in a Kurdish drama TV series. Culpepers (2011) model of impoliteness triggers was drawn upon to investigate 28 extracts taken from Ax Tax drama TV series as the data for the current study and then the utterances which contained impoliteness triggers were selected to be analyzed and interpreted via descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The study hypothesizes the higher rate of occurrences of implicational impoliteness than the conventionalized impoliteness formulae in the current data due to the communal nature of Kurdish culture. Four main conclusions were drawn from the results of the current study. First, the findings showed the higher rate of conventionalized impoliteness formulae compared to implicational impoliteness. Second, within all the categories of conventionalized impoliteness formulae, unpalatable questions as a category were the most dominant category, while condescensions and message enforcers with equal frequencies were the least dominant categories used in the selected data. Third, the results also found a new category belonging to conventionalized impoliteness formulae which was labeled by the researcher as unmitigated orders. Fourth, among all categories of implicational impoliteness, form-driven implicational impoliteness was the most used category, whereas context- driven implicational impoliteness was the least used category in the selected data.
