Abstract

The connection between a street and the anthroponym which identifies it goes beyond a simple way of locating in the geographical space. It constitutes a representation of the national, local, international and cultural history and, at the same time, it is a sort of government control since they not only serve administratively, but also legitimize the current official history. The aim of this paper is to analyze a corpus of 1260 street names of Santa Fe, New Mexico containing person names so the connection between these names with the national, state and local history can be established. The outcomes of this paper are that the city of Santa Fe considers equally important the national and the local affairs and people. This allows a greater creativity in the naming process. Hence, this analysis also permits the possibility to observe the linguistic and cultural richness in the city.
