This issue of Status Quaestionis seeks to investigate contemporary political communication from a sociolinguistic perspective, with particular attention to the phenomena of post-truth and populist discourse. In recent years, the relationship between language, politics, and society has been profoundly reshaped by the impact of social media, the spread of polarizing narratives, and the erosion of the traditional link between factual truth and public credibility. In this context, where “fake news”,

Even today, conflicts over consent, domestic violence, LGBTQ+ rights, and cross-cultural misunderstandings reveal the urgent need to better understand how love and desire are communicated. Addressing these questions is not only of academic int
