Abstract

This article discusses lingual data based on defamation case analysis, lexical semantics, grammatical semantics, and analysis pragmatics (speech acts), which is part of studying linguistics forensics. Based on lingual data of defamation that has been analyzed based on these three points of view, the following findings were obtained; (1) based on the lexical-semantic analysis found meaning lexical/meaning of word denotation; (2) based on grammatical semantic analysis, is obtained the meaning of phrases, sentences, and discourse according to what is intended by the speaker; (3) there is a declarative illocutionary speech act from the speaker. Based on the results of this analysis, it can be concluded that an utterance belongs to defamation. Investigators can use this as one of the grounds for preparing investigative procedures and decision-making for sanctions laws for defamation actors.
