Freud and collocation: a psychodynamic interpretation of ‘make’ and ‘do’ in English

The study argues that linguistic collocation may encode traces of psychodynamic organization and offers theoretical implications for language teaching and translation, while acknowledging that these applications require future empirical validation.
