GeorgeBernard Shaw (1856-1950) and Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) were the most importantfigures in Modern European Drama in the late nineteenth century. While Ibsen isregarded as the founding father of Modern Drama in Europe, Shaw is consideredto be one of the most important founding figures of the English Drama. Theyboth contributed a lot to the development of modern drama in their times. Shawis 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, interms of topics they have dealt with. Our literature survey has shown thatplays or drama texts have hardly been analysed collocationally, so we havetried to interpret and read these two major works by the major playwrights froma collocational perspective. The study aims to find out the similarities anddifferences of collocational style between two playwrights. The plays, in hand,have been read, analysed and interpreted according to the five lexical types ofcollocations by using simple arithmetic calculation. The lexical collocationshave shown us how Shaw and Ibsen treated collocations in their works.
