论文摘要
评估在不断增长的语料库中排名术语重要性的变化是理解词汇用法变化的有力工具。在本文中，我们分析了一个自由响应答案的语料库，其中要求33,993 LGBTQ一代受访者在13岁到24岁的受访者被要求自我描述他们的性取向。我们观察到，某些标签（例如双性恋，pansexual和女同性恋）在各个年龄段中同样重要。其他标签的重要性，例如同性恋，死亡和异性恋，跨年龄段的发展。尽管Z世代通常被定型为同质的观念，但在其中自我描述的性取向时，我们观察到了不同的标签用法。我们敦促感兴趣的各方必须经常向目标受众调查最重要的性取向标签，并刷新其材料（例如人口调查），以反映不断发展的LGBTQ社区并创造一个包容性的环境。
Evaluating change in ranked term importance in a growing corpus is a powerful tool for understanding changes in vocabulary usage. In this paper, we analyze a corpus of free-response answers where 33,993 LGBTQ Generation Z respondents from age 13 to 24 in the United States are asked to self-describe their sexual orientation. We observe that certain labels, such as bisexual, pansexual, and lesbian, remain equally important across age groups. The importance of other labels, such as homosexual, demisexual, and omnisexual, evolve across age groups. Although Generation Z is often stereotyped as homogenous, we observe noticeably different label usage when self-describing sexual orientation within it. We urge that interested parties must routinely survey the most important sexual orientation labels to their target audience and refresh their materials (such as demographic surveys) to reflect the constantly evolving LGBTQ community and create an inclusive environment.
