o:29038 From Brexit to Bregret An account of some Brexit-induced neologisms in English en xtract The UK's June 2016 decision to withdraw from the European Union, popularly referred to as Brexit, has had a major political, financial and economic impact worldwide. However, the impact was also linguistic as this event has generated a myriad of neologisms in English, such as breferendum, brexiteer, Brexitsphere, regrexit or Brexitology. The aim of the present study is to give a general overview of these new words, to establish the predominant word-formational patterns as well as to point out the creativity and speed with which speakers of English have reacted linguistically to this change in the socio-political context. 1552099 10.1017/S0266078417000530 1552101 0266-0784 2023-05-04T12:45:22.721Z 44 no 46 Gordana Lalić Krstin Nadežda Silaški Univerzitet u Beogradu Ekonomski fakultet person 12608103 0000-0001-7655-1042 application/pdf 149065 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:29038 no yes 18 70 92000001 11A03 English today 34 2 3 8 2018
