Forensic linguistics, defamation, legal discourseAbstract
In this context, forensic linguistics has emerged as an essential interdisciplinary field that integrates linguistic analysis with legal evaluation. This article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of the legal and linguistic examination of texts containing defamatory content. The study explores the criteria used to distinguish factual assertions from value judgments, the identification of negative evaluative markers, and the role of contextual, pragmatic, and discourse-level analysis in determining defamatory meaning. Particular attention is given to diagnostic indicators of insult, including attribution of negative information to an identifiable person, the degree of reputational harm, and the communicative context in which the statement is produced. The research emphasizes that defamatory meaning often arises not only from explicit accusations but also from implicit insinuations, metaphorical constructions, and communicative intent.
