The ultimate goal of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of have a look at and take a look at in four corpora. A major point to note is that take a look at is preferred over have a look at in the TV Corpus from the 1950s to the 2010s. A further point to note is two types reached a peak in the 2010s, which in turn implies that they are the most preferred ones in the 2010s. With respect to the Movie Corpus, it is worth noting that take a look at is favored over have a look at in the Movie Corpus from the 1930s to the 2010s. It is noteworthy, on the other hand, have a look at reached a peak (346 tokens) in the 2000s, whereas take a look at reached a peak (1,310 tokens) in the 2010s. This in turn implies that two types were the most preferred ones in in those periods. The COCA clearly shows that have a look at http is the most preferred one in America, whereas take a look at it is the most preferred one. The COCA also shows that 8.88% of forty five nouns are the collocations of both have a look at and take a look at. The BNC clearly indicates that have a look at number and take a look at trends are the most preferable ones among the British. With respect to the BNC, it is interesting to point out that only 3.7% of twenty seven nouns are the collocation of have a look at and take a look at.
