The objective of the research is to formulate a Forensic Linguistics perspective on determining implied meaning and message. The result is that implied meaning must be searched by employing lexico-grammatical structures and supported by socio-pragmatic contexts, namely, deictic, implicature and speech acts. It is concluded that in investigating forensic texts particularly to find out deep structure of meaning and messages behind the surface text, microlinguistics and macrolinguistics properties should be imposed in order to formulate language crime supported by linguistic evidences.
