This article examines the integrative approach to the development and organization of thematic dictionaries within English and Uzbek lexicography. The study highlights how combining linguistic, cognitive, cultural, and technological principles enables the creation of dictionaries that more accurately reflect semantic relations and domain-specific vocabulary systems. By comparing thematic structuring practices in both languages, the research identifies common methodological tendencies as well as language-specific features shaped by cultural and historical factors. The article also discusses the role of digital lexicographic tools, user-oriented design, and corpus-based analysis in enhancing the quality, accessibility, and functionality of thematic dictionaries. The findings demonstrate that an integrative approach contributes to building more dynamic, multidimensional lexicographic resources that support language teaching, translation, and applied linguistic research.
