What's the difference between لغت نامه and فرهنگ لغت?
Google Translate says that the first means "glossary" or "lexicon" and the second means "dictionary." In English, a glossary is sort of like an abridged dictionary that only has to do with a certain subject or field, but a lexicon is pretty much the same as a dictionary. So what is the difference between لغت نامه and فرهنگ لغت? Is it subtle? Are they interchangeable?

Thanks.

Answer

سلام                    
لغت نامه و فرهنگ لغت هر دو به یک معنا هستند و می توان آن ها را به صورت مترادف به کار برد

Answer

سلام 
هر جفتشون یک معنی میده
مثلا فرهنگ لغت معین هست که در شش جلد تدوین شده از اون طرف هم لغت‌نامهٔ  دهخدا  هستش که در ۱۶ جلد به چاپ رسیده که همونطور که میبینی هر جفتشون کامل هستند
ولی به لغت هایی که در آخر یک کتاب جمع آوری میشه رو هم لغت نامه یا واژه نامه میگن

Answer
