Linguacultural Analysis of Toponymic and Anthroponymic Units in The Martian Chronicles
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article conducts a linguacultural analysis of toponymic (place names) and anthroponymic (personal names) units in Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles. The study explores how Bradbury's naming strategies reflect broader themes of colonization, cultural identity, historical memory, and sociopolitical tension. Toponyms are categorized into indigenous Martian names, Earth-based colonial names, and hybrid forms, each carrying distinct linguistic and cultural connotations that mirror the confrontation between native heritage and human intrusion. Similarly, the analysis of anthroponyms highlights how personal names encode character traits, cultural origins, and thematic roles, revealing the ideological dimensions behind Bradbury’s characterization. Through a qualitative linguacultural approach, the research demonstrates how names in the novel function as markers of power, nostalgia, resistance, and adaptation. By interpreting these linguistic choices within a comparative cultural framework, the study uncovers the deep interrelation between language, identity, and the process of colonization in speculative fiction.
