timeline

The timeline function displays the changing frequency of a word or phrase over time. Timelines are not a standalone tool, they are included in the Concordance and Wordlist tools. Timelines are computed the same as the graphs in Trends – a diachronic analysis of word usage, however, they can be generated for any word or even multi-word phrase the graph displays more details.
