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。

この曲線は、2019年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約1.1倍で現れやすいように見えます。 ベースラインとして淡々と使われ続けたタイプかもしれません。 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。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。 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。 背景を想像しながら出会うと、記憶のフックが増えて学習が少し楽になります。
