Anthropomorphic Characters in the “Dylan the Dragon” and “Bully Bill” Picture Books by Using Semiotic Analysis

---

This research discussed anthropomorphic characteristics in two picture
books, namely Dylan the Dragon and Bully Bill, by using anthropomorphism
theory by Stewart Guthrie and then semiotics theory by Charles Sanders Peirce.
This research used the qualitative descriptive method to reveal the data. The
findings show the anthropomorphic traits in both picture books are using human
accessories, human-like facial expressions, being able to talk, standing and
walking on two legs, eating cooked food, drinking tea, sitting on a chair, the image
of a human face that is briefly visible in a picture of bushes, and the image of a
human figure that is briefly visible in a picture of an ornamental tree. The way
the two picture books deliver anthropomorphism is by using semiotic analysis.
Each type of anthropomorphism, such as literal, partial, and accidental, is
explained by looking at the semiotics of each data point or image. In addition, the
results of the research show that anthropomorphic character Dylan is more
dominant compared to Bill.
