The present study analyzes the metaphorical collocations used by Louisa May Alcott in the first ten chapters of her well-known novel -Little Women‖ (1868-1869). These chapters represent the childhood phase of the four March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. This research identifies the metaphorical collocations using the Oxford Collocations Dictionary (OCD) and Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) and following the lexical and grammatical types suggested by Benson et al. (2010). The study also aims at examining the significance and contribution of the frequent metaphorical collocations to the narrative. The study attempts to detect many metaphorical collocations that are frequent, restricted, and transparent and finds numerous metaphorical collocations that consist of a collocate used metaphorically and a base used literally which vividly portray the March sisters' childhood experiences. Metaphorical collocations appear to spread largely across verb + noun and adjective + noun patterns. The analysis reveals many conceptual metaphors that motivate many of the extracted metaphorical collocations. |
