Pygmalion (1912) and Ghosts (1881): A Collocational Analysis1 Pygmalion (1912) and Hortlaklar (1881): Eşdizimsel BirAnaliz

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) and Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) were the most important figures in Modern European Drama in the late nineteenth century. While Ibsen is regarded as the founding father of modern drama in Europe, Shaw is considered to be one of the most important founding figures of the English drama. They both contributed a lot to the development of modern drama in their times. Shaw is known to have been greatly inspired by Ibsen. Shaw’s Pygmalion (1912) and Ibsen’s Ghosts (1881) are considered to be great dramas of their time, even today, in terms of topics they have dealt with. Our literature survey has shown that plays or drama texts have hardly been analysed collocationally, so we have tried to interpret and read these two major works by the major playwrights from a collocational perspective. The study aims to find out the similarities and differences of collocational style between two playwrights. The plays, in hand, have been read, analysed and interpreted according to the five lexical types of collocations by using simple arithmetic calculation. The lexical collocations have shown us how Shaw and Ibsen treated collocations in Pygmalion and Ghosts, respectively.
