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。

この曲線は、1978年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約0.9倍で現れやすいように見えます。 派手さはないけれど、安定して息の長い存在だった可能性があります。 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。 “なぜこの形?”と一歩立ち止まれるだけで、語彙がただの暗記じゃなくなります。
