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、2011年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約2.4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。 長期的には“後から浮上する語”としての性格が強そうです。 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。 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。
