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、2017年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約1.5倍で現れやすいように見えます。 極端ではないけれど、時代の好みの変化に揺れているように見えます。 一方向の物語より、文脈ごとの揺れがある語に見えます。 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。 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。
