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。

数字の動きとしては、2018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。 一定の揺れがあり、分野・媒体の影響も考えられます。 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。 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。 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。
