| 概要 | Japan and its modern history have played a major role in global developments over the past century. Knowledge of this must pass through the medium of language. In this case, the medium is American English. The study investigates the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA), to flush out language patterns in how Japan, its history, and its economics, have emerged in published American sources. The investigation does this through a simple word-frequency analysis of English vocabulary relevant to Japan. For comparison and insight, it also tests word frequencies related to China and Europe. The paper presents quantified and charted findings, to view publishing patterns in American English, and how those patterns graft onto important events in Japanese history, such as the asset price bubble of 1986-1991. |
