Abstract

The aim of our article is to reconsider language and the emotional meaning of words in the framework proposed by Charles Stevenson, in the interweaving of ethics and linguistic studies. The emotional meaning of words, depending on the history of its uses and the effects produced, pushes or directs people to perform actions, influencing the choices of speakers and questioning the nature of ethical expressions as social tools. We would like to underline how, precisely through the linguistic approach, emotions move from the intimate and private sphere to the public and collective sphere, considering examples of digital communication and the phenomenon of post-truth.
