Usage notes
- Japanese has a number of words that are translated in English as “dictionary”; see Japanese dictionary at Wikipedia.
- 辞典 is used (along with 辞書 (jisho)) to mean “dictionary” in the English sense of “lexicon”, as well as more broadly to mean other word books such as
- 類語辞典 (ruigo jiten): thesaurus and
- 文法辞典 (bunpō jiten): grammar book, among others.
The reading ことばてん (kotobaten) is used for distinguishing from 事典 (jiten, “encyclopaedia”) and 字典 (jiten, “kanji character dictionary”).
