| Jul 11, 2022 at 18:31 | comment | added | ermanen | @Justin No problem. Although, it is not really needed. Many people here (and many top contributors) just say OED or the OED (without linking often as it is subscription based). OED is possibly one of the exceptions and it is obvious when you say OED. It is one of the most autoritative sources of English language. | |
| Jul 11, 2022 at 18:21 | comment | added | Justin | I hope you don't mind, I added a note that a subscription is required to view the OED entry; not many people have access to a such a fine dictionary (I myself don't, although I use OED2, which is free, but not as updated as OED3). | |

| Feb 21, 2014 at 18:28 | comment | added | Kristina Lopez | Not to go all sour-grapes here, but this obscurely named phenomenon is MUCH more frequently referred to by one of the 3 words in my answer. Humph! ;-) | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 15:04 | comment | added | Chris Johnson | I wonder how often the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon applies to the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon itself -- I've never heard the name of this before, so I will probably hear it again tomorrow, right? :) | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:50 | comment | added | ermanen | Not there. It is one of the original sources that I gave: psmag.com/culture/… | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:49 | comment | added | Javid Jamae | @ermanen - I see no such text when I go to: itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002386.html . I see a blog post entitled "JUST BETWEEN DR. LANGUAGE AND I". | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:46 | comment | added | ermanen | @Javid Jamae - Yes, in the articles it says: "The considerably catchier sobriquet Baader-Meinhof phenomenon was invented in 1994 by a commenter on the St. Paul Pioneer Press’ online discussion board". Then a linguist coined as "frequency illusion". | |

| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:44 | comment | added | Javid Jamae | I'll concede, but FYI, neither the word "Baader" nor "Meinhoff" appears in the article listed in your comment above when you do a text search. | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:40 | comment | added | ermanen | @Javid Jamae - Baased-Meinhof phenomenon is already mentioned as a sobriquet in the article. But it is not that uncommon in online platforms. | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:40 | comment | added | Javid Jamae | OK, searching with "Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon" with quotes gives more results that I didn't see before. I'm a little less skeptical now. :-) | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:36 | comment | added | Javid Jamae | @user13107 - That's my point, there are only 2 blog posts (with no sources listed) referring to that usage of the term. Show me more evidence and I'll be convinced. | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:33 | comment | added | Javid Jamae | @ermanen - Yes, I have no problem saying that "frequency illusion" or "recency illusion" is correct (as per the source you just gave), but "Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon" seems like an extremely uncommon neologism backed by a few random blog posts with no original sources listed. I'd mark your answer correct if you removed that definition or provided a more authoritative reference on the term demonstrating its use/acceptance. | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:32 | comment | added | user13107 | @JavidJamae I don't think a single blog post will cut it. Let's say if there are 100 different sources mentioning that term, then I'd say it's good enough. btw when you google use double quotes, that will give exact usage of the terms (in case you didn't use) | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:32 | comment | added | ermanen | "Another selective attention effect, which tends to accompany the Recency Illusion, is the Frequency Illusion: once you've noticed a phenomenon, you think it happens a whole lot, even "all the time"." | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:27 | comment | added | ermanen | It is a fairly new term based on existing biases. Here is the source where he mentioned: itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002386.html And he coined this term based on "recency illusion" as well, which is a more established term. | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:25 | comment | added | Javid Jamae | @user13107 so if I started calling it the "User13107 Phenomenon" and wrote a blog post about it, should it be marked as the correct answer? | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:17 | comment | added | user13107 | @JavidJamae whether some term is prevalent shouldn't be an issue as long as it is correct meaning-wise. If everyone used the same terms to describe things all the time, world will be a bit boring. | |
| Feb 21, 2014 at 1:11 | comment | added | Javid Jamae | Sounds interesting, but neither of those sources are very convincing in showing that this is a prevalently used term. Googling the term doesn't show any more definitive or convincing support either. In fact, those are the only two results that I found that refer to this usage of "Baader-Meinhof". I also searched Arnold Zwicky's own website, which doesn't even refer to the term. | |
