Temporal Drift of Non-English Nouns in Wikipedia's 'List of...' Infoboxes
This page monitors the proportion and average count of non-English nouns appearing within the descriptive infoboxes of Wikipedia lists. We analyse publicly available Wikipedia data to identify patterns in how 'foreign' terms are incorporated into these summaries.
By observing these linguistic shifts, we gain insight into the subtle ways globalization and cultural exchange are reflected in everyday language on a prominent global platform. This is a unique metric, as no other analyses focus specifically on this type of linguistic integration within Wikipedia's structured data.
