Online disinformation is a pressing challenge for our societies. Its role in influencing elections (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017) and behaviors (van der Linden et al., 2020) has gathered the attention of different societal actors aimed at mitigating its negative impact.
The Natural Language Processing (NLP) community is contributing to fighting this phenomenon with a growing number of datasets (Hussain et al., 2025) and technologies (VeraAI, AskVera, Bellingcat) (Lupi et al., 2023; Wuhrl et al., 20

Linguistics is currently undergoing important changes, driven mainly by substantial methodological progress, which, in turn, opens new paths to rethink the foundations of the discipline. Experimental methods have become standard in linguistic research, eye-tracking and EEG studies shed new light on language processing, and big data, quantitative methods and AI allow for simulations and projections that were completely unthinkable until very recent times. Tools such as R are now an integral part
