年代別単語頻度グラフ

このグラフは、1900年からの単語出現頻度の推移を示しています。値は ×10⁻⁸ スケールで表示されています。

頻度の波だけを見るなら、1902年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約0.5倍で現れやすいように見えます。 一定の揺れがあり、分野・媒体の影響も考えられます。 古い文章で相対的に出会いやすい可能性があります。 観察の読み方:このクラスターは平均ピークが1962.9年(中央値1963年)に集中し、形は「normal」「steady」が大半で、ショック的なバーストは稀という傾向です。特定の出来事だけでなく、出版媒体や分野の広がりの影響も考えられます。 別の説明(語義変化や競合語の台頭)でも似た形は作れます。 こういう“時代の匂い”と一緒に覚えると、単語がぐっと立体的に見えてくるはずです。
