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(じしょ) (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(るいごじてん) (ruigo jiten): thesaurus and
    文法辞典(ぶんぽうじてん) (bunpō jiten): grammar book, among others.

The reading ことばてん (kotobaten) is used for distinguishing from 事(じ)典(てん) (jiten, “encyclopaedia”) and 字(じ)典(てん) (jiten, “kanji character dictionary”).
