Brusenbauch Meislová, Monika and Koller, Veronika and Kopf, Susanne and Miglbauer, Marlene (2021) Recontextualising Brexit : Discursive representations from outside the United Kingdom. Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines, 13 (1). pp. 1-11. ISSN 1752-3079

Abstract

In this introduction, we review the previous literature, present mostly in political science, on how Brexit has been perceived, discussed and instrumentalized outside of the UK. We provide an overview of the papers that make up this special issue, pointing out the various media (e.g. news websites, online discussion fora, TV programmes) and discourse domains (politics, banking) that the contributors address, along with the discourse aspects covered by the articles, such as narrative, humour, emotion, blame allocation, framing, and reference and predication. We conclude by highlighting possible future research, especially beyond the national level.
