Abstract
This research will deal with newspapers and their columns on Brexit from January 2015 up till December 2016. The newspapers that will be discussed are The Guardian and The Daily Mail and their columnists John Crace and Stephen Glover. The rhetorical figures of each column are collected and the percentages of use is calculated. From these data, the most common rhetorical figures can be deduced and most their function will be described. To understand the theoretical frame of the research, background information on columns and interpreting rhetorical figures is given as well. The claim of this study is that each author uses different rhetorical devices in their columns, since their both on a different side in the Brexit discussion.
