Brexit saga’s impact of the English Language Brexit. Language of negotiation

Abstract

The word “Brexit” has quickly shot into everyday use. It became as inevitable in British discussions as the word “sorry or commentary on weather”. But for those who aren’t yet fully Brexituasted, there exists some interesting parallels between “Brexit” as a word and “Brexit” as the political phenomenon. Another word “, Grexit” which proceeded “Brexit” was used for the first time by a City group economists in February 2019. It referred to the possibility of Greece leaving eurozone. The Remainer, Mr. Peter Wilding, (who voted to remain in the EU – the rest are called Leavers, coined “Brexit” (Britain +exit) described it as “another sad word” worked on European policy under Cameron. Now, he regrets creating the word. Later there appeared a lot of new words like “Bremain”, Bregret”, “Remainer”, “Leaver”. Our purpose is: 1) to investigate the new negative lexicon, the neutral and the positive in the period up to 25-31 December 2020, 2) to determine the quality and reliability of the Protocol; 3) to reveal the audacious (Ro.: obraznic) violation of the Brexit agreement in the immediate post-Brexit period; 4) to determine the specific negotiation Brexit lexicon.
