Please find a short description in the following:

When the UK voted to exit the European Union in 2016 many tried to understand
the event. Opinion polls, the analysis of voting patterns, studies of the
press in the run up to the vote, the role of social media and machine learning
all came to prominence as people and organizations tried to understand what
was an unexpected outcome for many.

In the research presented in this paper, undertaken with Helen Baker and
Vaclav Brezina, we approached this question with a different mindset. Much of
the work we have done in the past has been focused on exploring the
development of attitudes and ideas, as reflected in language, over long
stretches of time. We believe that in taking this approach we can start to
understand long term trends that give rise to specific, notable, events.
