Sokhan Dictionary (Persian: فرهنگ سخن) is one of the most recent monolingual Persian dictionaries, compiled under the supervision of Hasan Anvari. The dictionary consists of two main editions:
The Great Edition (Big Dictionary) in eight volumes.[1]
The Compact Edition (Compact Dictionary) in two volumes.[2]
The Big Dictionary of Sokhan, in addition to old words, encompasses nearly all words, scientific terms, and contemporary interpretations of the Persian language. It has been compiled and published by Sokhan Publications (fa). In the compilation of the Sokhan Dictionary, besides the editor-in-chief (Hassan Anvari), 46 authors and 21 editors collaborated in both general and specialized sections.[3][4][5]
Sokhan Compact Dictionary
[edit]The Sokhan Compact Dictionary, authored under the supervision of Hasan Anvari, is composed of two volumes. This lexicon is a condensed version of the Sokhan Big Dictionary (an eight-volume set). In the Sokhan Compact Dictionary, lexical evidences (except for a few entries) have been omitted. Additionally, rarely used words, especially those with scant evidence and words formed analogically, have been excluded from this dictionary.[6]
The purpose of condensing the Sokhan Big Dictionary into a two-volume format is to facilitate access for individuals who do not have access to the larger edition or are seeking concise documentation of words.[7]
Sokhan Contemporary Dictionary
[edit]The Sokhan Contemporary Dictionary is authored in a single volume. Unlike the two main dictionaries, this lexicon does not include archaic words. Instead, its compilation focuses on contemporary Persian vocabulary and expressions. The volume of scientific terms in this edition is also less compared to the two original editions (Big Dictionary and Compact Dictionary). This dictionary, too, has been published by Sokhan Publications. In its compilation, in addition to the editor-in-chief (Hassan Anvari), 46 authors and 21 editors collaborated in both general and specialized sections. The Sokhan Contemporary Dictionary was published in the year 2004 (1383 in the Persian calendar).[8]
Sokhan Supplementary Dictionary
[edit]This book is a supplement to the Sokhan Big Dictionary, which was published in eight volumes in the year 2002 (1381 in the Persian calendar). It comprises words that were omitted or newly discovered, as well as corrections of printing and non-printing errors and mistakes in references that occurred across the eight volumes. Additionally, it includes some new evidence for entries that had limited or no evidence previously.[9][10]
Features of Sokhan Dictionary
[edit]The Sokhan Dictionary comprises 75,000 main entries, 45,000 sub-entries, 16,000 documented evidences, 1,000 examples, and 1,500 images. It encompasses almost all words used in both ancient and modern Persian language.[11]
