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。

数字の動きとしては、2018年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約1.3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。 上がり続けるでも下がり続けるでもなく、役割が変化した可能性があります。 昔は1960?70年代に峯が立ち(平均ピーク年が約1967年、中央値は1981年)、今は1990年代以降のデジタル/グローバル期に別の波が増えているように見えます。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。 もちろん頻度だけでは語義領域は断定できず、媒体やジャンルの偏りも影響し得ます。 背景を想像しながら出会うと、記憶のフックが増えて学習が少し楽になります。
