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、1998年付近に山があり、近年は昔の約1.4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。 研究メモ:このクラスターは93語を含み、平均ピーク年が1959年、中央値が1946年と20世紀中葉に集中したピークを持つ一方で、56語が「steady」型で持続的に出現しているという特徴を示します。情報流通が広がり、専門・地域語彙が一般にも届きやすくなった時代と共鳴しているように見えます。 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。
