Résumé

Since the UK voted to exit the European Union, there has been great controversy from all sides and thus many discourses from different political perspectives which, in turn, are reflected in the media coverage. In this paper, a parallel corpus of different newspaper articles on Brexit from two daily liberal, left-of-centre tendencies, the Spanish “El País” and the British “Reuters” news agency and their published translation into English and Spanish between 2018 and 2019 will be analyzed using cross-linguistic CADS (Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies). In order to study how Brexit is represented in both the Spanish and British press and which perspective is adopted through the analysis of these media and their transedited versions in both languages. Therefore, the analysis will resort to traditional tools from CADS (statistics, keywords and concordances) in order to focus on common political issues for Spain and the UK such as how the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement deals with Gibraltar (a major issue of contention in the relations between the two countries) and how the United Kingdom’s PM, Theresa May, and her Spanish counterpart, Pedro Sánchez, express their attitudes and reveal their ideological positions about the UK’s exit from the EU.
