The article examines the communicative situation as a key component of forensic linguistic expertise in cases of insult. The relevance of the study is the increasing complexity of verbal interaction in public and digital communication, as well as the need for objective interpretation of disputed statements in legal practice. Special attention is paid to the role of the communicative situation in identifying linguistic indicators of humiliation of honor and dignity and the form of their expression. The purpose of the study is to identify the structural components of the communicative situation and the stages of its analysis in the course of forensic linguistic expertise of insult cases. The research material includes regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, scientific works of Russian and Kazakhstani scholars in the field of forensic and legal linguistics, as well as the provisions of the new Methodology for forensic expert research of objects containing linguistic signs of insult, approved by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2025.

The results substantiate the necessity of a comprehensive consideration of communicative situation parameters when diagnosing insulting statements, which contributes to greater objectivity and reproducibility of expert conclusions. The findings are of practical significance for forensic expert activity and further research in forensic linguistics.
