Follow a word through seventy years of the Pacific. Type up to three words to chart how often each appeared, year by year, as a rate per million words, so a slim 1930s volume and a bulky 1970s one compare fairly. Key dates in Pacific history are marked on the chart.
Comma-separated, up to three. Case and punctuation are ignored. A multi-word term is charted as the sum of its separate words, not as a phrase, so "south seas" is shown as "south + seas".
The words that climbed or fell the most from one decade to the next, measured as a rate per million words. Click any word to chart it.
