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。

この語のカーブを眺めると、1900年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約0.8倍で現れやすいように見えます。 じわじわした増減があり、背景に複数要因がありそうです。 大勢としては大崩れせず、用途が分散しているタイプかもしれません。 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。語義の拡張・専門化・媒体の偏りなど、複数要因の合成かもしれません。 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。 “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。
