Kōjien

December 31, 2022

Kōjien (Japanese: 広辞苑, lit. "Wide garden of words") is a single-volume Japanese dictionary first published by Iwanami Shoten in 1955. It is widely regarded as the most authoritative dictionary of Japanese, and newspaper editorials frequently cite its definitions. As of 2007, it had sold 11 million copies.[1]

Izuru Shinmura

Kōjien was the magnum opus of Shinmura Izuru, 1876–1967, a professor of linguistics and Japanese at Kyoto University. He was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture and graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University, where he was a student of Kazutoshi Ueda (上田万年, Ueda Kazutoshi, 1867–1937). After studying in Germany, Ueda taught comparative linguistics and edited foreign-language dictionaries in the latter part of the Meiji era. Through his tutelage, Shinmura became involved in Japanese language lexicography. Even Kōjien editions published after his death credit Shinmura as the chief editor.

History

Jien

The predecessor of Kōjien originated during the Great Depression in East Asia. In 1930, the publisher Shigeo Oka (岡茂雄, Oka Shigeo, 1894–1989) wanted to create a Japanese dictionary for high school students. He asked his friend Shinmura to be chief editor, and they chose the title Jien (辞苑 "Garden of words") in a classical allusion to the Ziyuan (字苑, "Garden of characters") Chinese dictionary. Shinmura appointed his son Takeshi Shinmura (新村猛, Shinmura Takeshi, 1905–1992) as an editor, and in 1935, Hakubunkan (博文館) published the Jien dictionary. It contained some 160,000 headword entries of old and new Japanese vocabulary, as well as encyclopedic content, and quickly became a bestseller.

1st edition

The editors began working on a revised edition, but the 1945 Firebombing of Tokyo destroyed their work. After the war, Shinmura and his lexicographers began anew in September 1948. Iwanami Shoten published the first Kōjien in 1955. It included approximately 200,000 headwords, about 40,000 more than the Jien.

2nd edition

The 2nd edition (1969) deleted about 20,000 old entries and added about 20,000 new ones, especially scientific terms.

On December 1, 1976, a revised and expanded version (hoteiban (補訂版)) of the 2nd edition was published.

3rd edition

The 3rd edition (1983) added 12,000 entries, and was published in CD-ROM format in 1987.

4th edition

Three major Japanese publishers released new dictionaries specifically designed to compete with the Iwanami's popular and profitable Kōjien: Sanseidō's Daijirin (大辞林 "Great forest of words", 1988), Shōgakukan's Daijisen (大辞泉 "Great fountainhead of words", 1995), and Kōdansha's Nihongo Daijiten (日本語大辞典 "Great dictionary of Japanese" 1989). In response, the 4th edition Kōjien (1991) was a major revision that added some 15,000 entry words, bringing the total to over 220,000. The CD-ROM version was published in 1993 and revised with color illustrations (like the Nihongo daijiten) in 1996.

In 1992, Iwanami published both an e-book format 4th edition and a useful Gyakubiki Kōjien (逆引き広辞苑 "Reverse dictionary Kōjien").

5th edition

The 5th edition (1998) includes over 230,000 headwords, and its 2996 pages contain an estimated total of 14 million characters. Iwanami Shoten currently publishes Kōjien in several printed and digital formats, and also sells dictionary subscription services for cell phone and Internet access. Various manufacturers of Japanese electronic dictionaries have licensed the digital Kōjien, and it is the core dictionary in many models.

Shinmura's preface to the 1st edition stated his hope that the Kōjien would become regarded as the standard by which other dictionaries would be measured. This has largely been fulfilled; many people regard the Kōjien as the most authoritative Japanese language dictionary on the market. It remains a bestseller in Japan. According to Iwanami, the 1st edition Kōjien sold over one million copies, and the 5th edition brought cumulative total sales to over eleven million in 2000.

6th edition

The sixth edition was released on January 11, 2008, includes more than 10,000 new entries, bringing the total to approximately 240,000. It also contains an additional 1,500 quotations.[1]

7th edition

The seventh edition was released on January 12, 2018. Changes include 10,000 new words were added from 100,000 words collected by its editors firstly, including "apuri"(app), "Isuramu-koku"(Islamic State), LGBT, "hanii torappu" (honey trap), "jidori" (selfie) and "diipu raningu" (deep learning).[2] Other changes include citing available source literature for a given explanation of a term, listing changes of the usages of a term, addition of 140 pages without adding book thickness.[3][4]

However, the definition of LGBT in the edition was written as "individuals whose sexual orientation differs from the majority." Some criticized that the definition only describes the "LGB" portion of the acronym which refers to sexual orientation, while the "T" refers to gender identity.[5]

Lexicographical characteristics

The Kōjien, like most Japanese dictionaries, writes headwords in hiragana syllabary and collates them in gojūon ("50 sounds") order. Baroni and Bialock (2005) describe the Kōjien as "an old standard that gives extensive definitions, etymologies (as always take care with these), and variant usages for words, places, historical and literary figures, and furigana for difficult or old terms."

This dictionary is notable for including current Japanese catchphrases and buzzwords. For instance, the 4th edition added furītā (フリーター "a part-time worker by choice"), which blends two loanwords: furī (フリー "free", from English, as in furīransu フリーランス "freelance") and arubaitā (アルバイター "part-time worker", from German Arbeiter "worker").

The Kōjien dictionary had a censorship policy before it became politically correct (see kotobagari), and omitted taboo words such as sexual slang or offensive terms. It includes encyclopedic information such as 2700 illustrations and maps, and mini-biographies of notable people (both living and dead foreigners, but only deceased Japanese). The appendices include Japanese grammar notes, kanji with difficult readings, Japanese calendar and Gregorian calendar charts, and lists of gairaigo acronyms.

Gally (1999) says, "Koujien is a fine dictionary with a sterling reputation. Because it gives definitions in historical order, it is the best single-volume choice for people interested in how the meanings of words have changed over time." However, he notes, "In my experience as a translator of contemporary Japanese, though, I have found Koujien less useful than Daijirin." This criticism is based on his use of the fourth edition, though, and he concedes that later editions seem to have improved in this regard.

Kojien University

As part of the publication of Kojien 7th edition, Kojien University (広辞苑大学) seminars were held in 2018-01-12 and 2018-01-14.[37] Second round of the seminars were planned in 2018-02-10.[38]

Japanese at Kyoto University He was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture and graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University where he was a student of Kazutoshi Ueda 上田万年 Ueda Kazutoshi 1867 1937 After studying in Germany Ueda taught comparative linguistics and edited foreign language dictionaries in the latter part of the Meiji era Through his tutelage Shinmura became involved in Japanese language lexicography Even Kōjien editions published after his death credit Shinmura as the chief editor History EditJien Edit The predecessor of Kōjien originated during the Great Depression in East Asia In 1930 the publisher Shigeo Oka 岡茂雄 Oka Shigeo 1894 1989 wanted to create a Japanese dictionary for high school students He asked his friend Shinmura to be chief editor and they chose the title Jien 辞苑 Garden of words in a classical allusion to the Ziyuan 字苑 Garden of characters Chinese dictionary Shinmura appointed his son Takeshi Shinmura 新村猛 Shinmura Takeshi 1905 1992 as an editor and in 1935 Hakubunkan 博文館 published the Jien dictionary It contained some 160 000 headword entries of old and new Japanese vocabulary as well as encyclopedic content and quickly became a bestseller 1st edition Edit The editors began working on a revised edition but the 1945 Firebombing of Tokyo destroyed their work After the war Shinmura and his lexicographers began anew in September 1948 Iwanami Shoten published the first Kōjien in 1955 It included approximately 200 000 headwords about 40 000 more than the Jien 2nd edition Edit The 2nd edition 1969 deleted about 20 000 old entries and added about 20 000 new ones especially scientific terms On December 1 1976 a revised and expanded version hoteiban 補訂版 of the 2nd edition was published 3rd edition Edit The 3rd edition 1983 added 12 000 entries and was published in CD ROM format in 1987 4th edition Edit Three major Japanese publishers released new dictionaries specifically designed to compete with the Iwanami s popular and profitable Kōjien Sanseidō s Daijirin 大辞林 Great forest of words 1988 Shōgakukan s Daijisen 大辞泉 Great fountainhead of words 1995 and Kōdansha s Nihongo Daijiten 日本語大辞典 Great dictionary of Japanese 1989 In response the 4th edition Kōjien 1991 was a major revision that added some 15 000 entry words bringing the total to over 220 000 The CD ROM version was published in 1993 and revised with color illustrations like the Nihongo daijiten in 1996 In 1992 Iwanami published both an e book format 4th edition and a useful Gyakubiki Kōjien 逆引き広辞苑 Reverse dictionary Kōjien 5th edition Edit The 5th edition 1998 includes over 230 000 headwords and its 2996 pages contain an estimated total of 14 million characters Iwanami Shoten currently publishes Kōjien in several printed and digital formats and also sells dictionary subscription services for cell phone and Internet access Various manufacturers of Japanese electronic dictionaries have licensed the digital Kōjien and it is the core dictionary in many models Shinmura s preface to the 1st edition stated his hope that the Kōjien would become regarded as the standard by which other dictionaries would be measured This has largely been fulfilled many people regard the Kōjien as the most authoritative Japanese language dictionary on the market It remains a bestseller in Japan According to Iwanami the 1st edition Kōjien sold over one million copies and the 5th edition brought cumulative total sales to over eleven million in 2000 6th edition Edit The sixth edition was released on January 11 2008 includes more than 10 000 new entries bringing the total to approximately 240 000 It also contains an additional 1 500 quotations 1 7th edition Edit The seventh edition was released on January 12 2018 Changes include 10 000 new words were added from 100 000 words collected by its editors firstly including apuri app Isuramu koku Islamic State LGBT hanii torappu honey trap jidori selfie and diipu raningu deep learning 2 Other changes include citing available source literature for a given explanation of a term listing changes of the usages of a term addition of 140 pages without adding book thickness 3 4 However the definition of LGBT in the edition was written as individuals whose sexual orientation differs from the majority Some criticized that the definition only describes the LGB portion of the acronym which refers to sexual orientation while the T refers to gender identity 5 Publication EditJapanese dictionaries Edit By Iwanami Shoten Edit Jien 辞苑 th printing 1935 Kōjien 1st edition 広辞苑 th printing 1955 05 25 Kōjien 2nd

dictionaries writes headwords in hiragana syllabary and collates them in gojuon 50 sounds order Baroni and Bialock 2005 describe the Kōjien as an old standard that gives extensive definitions etymologies as always take care with these and variant usages for words places historical and literary figures and furigana for difficult or old terms This dictionary is notable for including current Japanese catchphrases and buzzwords For instance the 4th edition added furita フリーター a part time worker by choice which blends two loanwords furi フリー free from English as in furiransu フリーランス freelance and arubaita アルバイター part time worker from German Arbeiter worker The Kōjien dictionary had a censorship policy before it became politically correct see kotobagari and omitted taboo words such as sexual slang or offensive terms It includes encyclopedic information such as 2700 illustrations and maps and mini biographies of notable people both living and dead foreigners but only deceased Japanese The appendices include Japanese grammar notes kanji with difficult readings Japanese calendar and Gregorian calendar charts and lists of gairaigo acronyms Gally 1999 says Koujien is a fine dictionary with a sterling reputation Because it gives definitions in historical order it is the best single volume choice for people interested in how the meanings of words have changed over time However he notes In my experience as a translator of contemporary Japanese though I have found Koujien less useful than Daijirin This criticism is based on his use of the fourth edition though and he concedes that later editions seem to have improved in this regard Kojien University EditAs part of the publication of Kojien 7th edition Kojien University 広辞苑大学 seminars were held in 2018 01 12 and
