"Languages after Brexit: How the UK Speaks to the World is a timely and thought-provoking study. . the first book-length research of the linguistic issues pertaining to Brexit and should be of interest to all who are involved in the academic study of the interplay between languages and politics. . It is believed that more research output in this respect will be yielded." (Hong Diao, Journal of Language and Politics, Vol. 19 (1), 2018)
