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。

頻度の波だけを見るなら、1935年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約0.6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。 ピーク後に落ち着くので、“一度脚光→その後静かに退く”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。時代の圧力が言葉の使われ方に影を落とした可能性も考えられます。 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。 曲線の理由を考えながら読むクセがつくと、英語の読解が一段楽になると思います。
