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、1932年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約0.4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。 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。 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。 こういう“時代の匂い”と一緒に覚えると、単語がぐっと立体的に見えてくるはずです。
