One can malign someone unintentionally (I could be maligning the lad —I haven't seen much of him ). ■ To defame someone is to make an unfair critical or accusatory remark about them which will damage their reputation, even if this is not the intention (he convinced the jurors that he had been defamed by the article ). ■ In legal usage, slander and libel are particular forms of defamation: to slander someone is to defame them in speech (they were accused of insulting and slandering the head of state ), whereas to libel someone is to defame them in written form, which is now taken to encompass any ‘permanent ’ form, including broadcasting and the Internet (Samuelson claims he was libelled in the same article ). ■ Traduce is a more literary term for the deliberate telling of damaging untruths (he is traducing his colleagues with his unsubstantiated accusations ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
