東アジアで最大の漢字辞典完成へ

今年の4月にも韓国の檀国大学の東洋学研究所による漢韓大辞典が完成する。索引を除き全15巻の大辞典は30年の年月をかけて発刊されており、諸橋大漢和辞典の4万9千字、台湾発行の中文大辞典の5万字、中国大陸の漢語大詞典の5万6千字と比べ、さらに多い6万字を収録しており東アジアで最大の漢字辞典となっている。

With 15 volumes excluding the index, the dictionary is a massive lexicon of some 60,000 Chinese characters for the culture sphere that uses Chinese characters such as Korea, China and Japan, and includes about 500,000 Chinese words. It is much bigger than any of the three major Chinese character dictionaries published earlier in East Asia - "Dai Kanwa Jiten" (an encyclopedic Chinese-Japanese dictionary compiled by Tetsuji Morohashi in Japan in 1960) with 49,000 characters and 400,000 words; "Zhong Wen Da Cidian" (an encyclopedic dictionary of the Chinese Language published in Taiwan in 1962) with 50,000 characters and 400,000 words; and "The Hanyu Da Cidian" (a comprehensive Chinese word dictionary published in China in 1994) with 56,000 characters and 370,000 words.
