The paper examines linguoconflictogenic factors that influence the nature and dynamics of social and political communication in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Typical sources of linguistic conflicts are identified: asymmetry of language status, interpretive dissonances, symbolic violence, digital mechanisms of reproducing conflictual meanings. The aim is to identify and typologize linguoconflictogenic factors (LCF), to show their functioning in public discourse; the methodology combines critical discourse analysis, sociolinguistic diagnostics, and elements of conflictology, relying on a multi-source corpus of utterances from 2020–2025 (official speeches, parliamentary debates, mass media, Telegram/YouTube/Instagram) and five representative cases. The results show the multifactorial nature of LCF at the intersection of ethnolinguistic stratification, ideologization, historical-traumatic memory, digital reproduction, and normative fragmentation; a typology of six classes is proposed (normative, identity-related, ideological, digital-reproductive, legal-regulatory, historical-traumatic) and their features are described (provoking potential; explicitness/implicitness; social relevance; ideological load). The work clarifies the conceptual status of linguoconflictogenicity and offers a reproducible framework for analyzing and managing LCF in the conditions of Kazakhstan’s multilingualism.
