Abstract:

This critical investigation explores Brexit in the context of the
nationalist populist wave in Europe, arguing that manipulative
rhetoric was a key factor in the 2016 referendum result. It probes
Brexiter propaganda through the lens of linguistics and cognitive
science, showing how ethnocentric attitudes and emotions were
mobilised.

                     Semantics

Subject Language(s): English (eng)

Written In: English (eng)
