Abstract (english)
This research analyzes the frequency of toponyms mentioned in the subtitles of the highest-grossing movies in the United States in the last 20 years. The research object consists of 11 subtitle corpora each comprised of subtitles from 50 movies with the highest domestic grosses in the United States in their respective movie genre. The goal of this research is to analyze the frequency and variation of toponyms mentioned in the created corpus. Another aspect this research focuses on is the differences in toponym use between movie genres based on their frequency and other characteristics. Overall analysis of the corpus shows that the most often mentioned country was the USA and the most often mentioned city was New York, however, the overall distribution of place names was diverse and covered most of the countries in North America, Europe and Asia. Countries in South America and Africa were mentioned less often. Movies in the western genre mostly mentioned place names in America, but action and drama genres mostly used international place names. The results between different genres show that Hollywood movies have varying levels of globalization that is reflected in the used toponyms. Those movie genres that have a higher share of foreign (non-US) box office revenue (e.g. action and adventure movies) use more global and diverse toponyms when compared to more domestic movie genres (e.g. westerns).
