How were social media posts, scripted speeches, traditional news
media and political cartoons used and understood during the Brexit
campaign? What phrases and metaphors were key during and after the
2016 Brexit referendum? How far did the Remain and Leave campaigns
rely on metaphor to engage with supporters in communicating their
political positions? These questions, and many others, can be
answered only through a systematic analysis of the actual language
used in relation to Brexit by the different parties involved. By
drawing on a range of data sources and types of communication, and
presenting them as 'frames' through which individuals can attempt
to understand the world, the author provides the first book-length
examination of the metaphors of Brexit. This book takes a detailed
look at the rhetorical language behind one of the major political
events of the era, and it will be of interest to students and
scholars of linguistics and political science, as well as anyone
with a special interest in metaphor, rhetoric, Brexit, or political
communication more broadly.
