Abstract:

Investigating the 2016 EU Referendum in the UK, "The Language of Brexit"
explores the ways in which 'Brexit' campaigners utilised language more
persuasively than their 'Remain' counterparts. Drawing parallels with
effective political discourse used worldwide, this book highlights the
linguistic features of an increasingly popular style of political campaigning.

Concentrating on the highly successful and emotive linguistic strategies
employed by the Brexit campaigners against the comparatively lacklustre Remain
camp, Buckledee makes a case for the contribution of language towards the
narrow 52-48% Brexit victory. Using primary examples, what emerges is how
urging people to have the courage to make a bid for freedom naturally invokes
more grandiloquent language, powerful metaphors and rousing partisan tone than
a campaign which, on balance, argues that it's best to simply stick with the
status quo.

Examining the huge amount of discourse generated before, during and since the
June 2016 EU Referendum, "The Language of Brexit" looks into the role language
played in the democratic process and the influence and impact it had on
electors, leading to an unexpected result and uncertain future.
