LONDON - Britain’s incoming prime minister once boasted he could recite from heart the first hundred lines of Homer’s Iliad in ancient Greek.
“Johnson’s use of language is often a mixture of unexpected metaphors or turns of phrase, hyperbole, and nostalgia, very often with a particularly British twist,” said Philip Seargeant, senior lecturer in applied linguistics at the Open University. A published author, his books include a biography of his hero and British war leader Winston Churchill. He has received 22,917 pounds a month for a weekly column in the Telegraph newspaper.“In the public arena he exploits at least the following masks: the rousing orator, the affable conversationalist, and the bumbling amateur,” said Paul Chilton, professor emeritus of Linguistics at Lancaster University.
Johnson proposed a “full British Brexit” rather than a “bog roll Brexit,” in a reference to toilet paper.
