“…The role of metaphors in the debate has been recognised as central in advocating specific lines of argumentation about the UK-EU relationship, as well as in the evaluations and action plans for the withdrawal (Dallison 2017;Đurović & Silaški 2018; Charteris-Black 2019; Musolff 2019; Wenzl 2019). To capture the sociopragmatic function of metaphor and figurative language use in general we combine cognitive and discourse-historical methods.…”

Can political rhetoric ever be “too persuasive”?

Can the use of linguistic devices to achieve persuasion, such as metaphor, irony and hyperbole, ever be “too persuasive”, i.e., overshoot its rhetorical aim? More specifically, can the combination of such devices be “too much of a good thing” in that it commits speakers (and approving hearers) to actions that they were not part of their persuasion intentions? This paper investigates the semantic and pragmatic development of the Brexit-related applications of the metaphorical proverb, You cannot have your cake and eat it, during 2016–2019 in British public discourse. At the start of that period, the proverb’s reversal into the assertion “We can have our cake and eat it!” by the then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and other “Brexiteers” became a highly prominent endorsement of Brexit and its supposed benefits for the UK; it even temporarily set the agenda for the public perception of UK–EU negotiations. Over time it became an object of hyperbolic praise as well as derision and recently seems to have lost much of its persuasive force. The paper argues that the proverb’s new reversed application by Johnson was initially successful in reviving its metaphorical meaning and framing it in a hyperbolic rhetorical context but that it also pushed Brexit proponents to an “all-or-nothing” outcome of the conflict narrative, both vis-à-vis the EU and within the British political debate. Thus, rhetorical success can lead to argumentative (and political) commitments that may have been not foreseen by the speaker and may run counter to their persuasive interests.

“…Daddow (2019: 5) recognises a Eurosceptic twist in Britain's foreign policy narrative using expressions like EU prison to evoke a negative attitude towards the EU in citizens. Đurović and Silaški (2018) recognise the MARRIAGE and DIVORCE metaphors of the MARRIED PARTNER scenario as essential linguistic means in the Brexit discourse. Their findings show a great cognitive potential of these metaphors as "powerful markers of national identities and devices for shaping conceptualisations of the given reality" (Ibid.…”

Conceptual metaphor has long been recognised to reflect our human emotional and cognitive world. Its ability to evoke emotional response and influence attitudes makes conceptual metaphor ideal for the use in political content. A recent controversial political issue is Brexit. The objective of the present paper is to compare the metaphor use in the British Brexit discourse to the metaphor use in the media of other language areas. The chosen languages are German, as language of another EU country and Serbian as the language of a country that is not in the European Union and is therefore not directly affected by Brexit so far. The data is taken from reliable online media sources of Britain, Germany and Serbia. Metaphors have been identified using the MIPVU procedure in 20 articles for each language. In a total of 259 metaphors, the three languages show interesting differences in the use of conceptual metaphors in the context of Brexit.
