Patrycja Kubicha, a doctor of linguistics and graduate of English and German philology, is a research and teaching employee at the Institute of Linguistics and Literary Studies at Jan Kochanowski University of Kielce. Her academic focus lies in linguistic pragmatics, particularly in the pragmatic analyses of political discourse. This monograph is a revised version of her PhD dissertation, analyzing selected Brexit speeches from British and German politicians delivered in their respective parliaments. The study investigates whether thematic and linguistic similarities in the speeches correlate more with the political orientation of the parties or their national origins. It examines speeches from the Conservative Party, Labour Party, and Democratic Unionist Party in the UK, and from the Christian Democratic Union, Christian Social Union, Social Democratic Party of Germany, and Alternative for Germany in Germany. The research employs Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson's relevance theory and utilizes Laurence Anthony's AntConc software alongside Microsoft Excel for analysis.
