The document discusses a study conducted by Jean-Baptiste Michel and colleagues at Harvard University that analyzed a massive corpus of digitized books to investigate cultural trends quantitatively. The team analyzed linguistic and cultural phenomena in the English language between 1800 and 2000, focusing on topics such as word usage, genre distribution, and gender representation in literature. They found patterns of cultural change over time and identified correlations between certain events and changes in literary expression. The study highlights the potential of "culturomics" to provide new insights into human culture and behavior.
