wordAbstract
This onomasiological study uses diachronic word embeddings to explore how different words represented the same concepts over time, using historical word data from 1800 to 2000.
We identify shifts in energy, transport, entertainment, and computing domains, revealing connections between language and societal changes.
Our approach consisted in using diachronic word embeddings trained using word2vec with skipgram and aligning them using orthogonal Procrustes.
We discuss possible difficulties linked to the relationships the method identifies.
Moreover, we look at the ethical aspects of interpreting results, highlighting the need for expert insights to understand the method's significance.
