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、1906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。 じわじわした増減があり、背景に複数要因がありそうです。 古い文章で相対的に出会いやすい可能性があります。 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。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。 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。
