Abstract
This study aims to investigate using a list of collocations as an instrument to identify metaphors in the language of newspapers ( The Independent). This study is concerned with identifying metaphors by using collocation list.Collcation as a linguistic phenomenon means two or more words that go together in a text. This phenomenon can be considered as the best instrument to identify lingustic metaphor in large texts. This is because sometimes one of collocation’s component parts is used metaphorically. This collocation is called a metaphorical collocation. This study comes as a support to the previous ones that view collocation list as an instrumentthat helps researchers to identify metaphor in large data like the language of newspapers.In this study, the researcher selects certain list of collocations from the independent, and appliesa method of MIP suggested by Pragglejaz Group (2007) as a method of identifying metaphorically used words. This qualitative study is based on identifying linguistic metaphors in certain list of collocations (five samples selected from The Independent).
