Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of hate speech in the legal, cognitive, and linguistic fields and presents an analysis of the different views and interpretations of this problem in academia. The terms “hate speech” and “hostile language” are semantically delimited in the Ukrainian language as non-identical. Specific examples are given of the use of hate speech from the Ukrainian press and online media. The article proposes criteria for value judgments which do not represent hate speech. Statements about national and racial characteristics and identity are considered. The article proposes a specific algorithm for the implementation of linguistic expertise regarding the detection of hate speech.
