I'm using the word in a literary context, I suppose - e.g. the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland could be described as anthropomorphised. He walks on two legs, wears a waistcoat and talks incessantly about being late. These are specifically human characteristics superimposed onto an animal. But if the same was done to a human (I can't think of a specific example at the moment), would the same word apply?
