This article explores the principles and methods of corpus selection and data collection for the development of English and Uzbek language dictionaries. The study emphasizes the importance of using well-balanced and representative corpora to ensure the accuracy, relevance, and usability of lexical entries. It also discusses various sources of linguistic data, including written and spoken texts, electronic databases, and user-generated content. By comparing practices in both languages, the paper highlights effective strategies for compiling bilingual lexicographic resources. The findings aim to contribute to the improvement of dictionary-making practices and promote the integration of modern corpus linguistics into lexicography.
