She shows similarities and differences between indignity, invective, abuse, defamation – speech acts with the same general intention: harming someone in an act of communications, insulting someone by word. Acts of verbal (and active) insults are assessed according to many criteria: moral (since it is a violation of personal dignity and moral value belonging to every person), social (as an offense against ethical and cultural norms accepted in a given society), legal (specified in art. 216) and linguistic, because they are made by using offensive words.
