Le palimpseste collocationnel : mécanismes productifs de formation des collocations métaphoriques V + N
The collocational palimpsest: productive mechanisms of formation of V + N metaphorical collocations

Summary/Abstract: In this article we argue in favor of a useful model to explain the productive mechanisms of formation of verb + noun metaphorical collocations. We postulate that verbo-nominal collocations, relating to human activities and relating to the fields of techniques, crafts, art and manufactures constitute a model for the metaphorical collocations. We will apply our model to metaphorical collocations with the French verb forger. For the application of our model, a corpus analysis will be necessary.
