When such items appear in the press, they can be considered, due to their stylistic effect, as insult-markers. The aim of this article is to analyze andcomment on, from a linguistic-stylistic point of view, a given number of litigation judgments. The defense utilized by the accused journalist and / or the interpretation of the connotations, (by the lawyers or the court), were examined. The intention was to confirm the hypothesis that stylistics has at its disposal instruments that can be of help when attempting to make objectivejudgments regarding the possible motivation of libel.
