Measuring Semantic Drift Across Generational Corpora: A Framework Using Pretrained Embeddings

2025-09-08

Abstract excerpt

Language evolves continuously, with words acquiring new meanings across generations. This paper introduces a systematic framework to measure semantic drift using pretrained embeddings applied to temporally segmented corpora. We present a proof-of-concept experi- ment comparing Wikipedia texts from two generational cohorts: Generation Z (1997–2012) and Generation Alpha (2013–present). Unlike resource-intensive diac...
