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。

年次推移だけでも、1917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。 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。社会が緊張しやすい時代と重なるため、制度・統制・報道語彙の需要に呼応した可能性があります。 ただ、頻度の形が示す“時代との相性”は、偶然以上のものを感じさせることがあります。 この波を味方にすると、単語との距離が少し縮まるはずです。
