This study provides a systematic linguistic analysis of musical terms presented in the Explanatory Dictionary of the Uzbek Language (EDUL) and its electronic version, Izoh.uz. The research examines the etymological, morphological, and polysemic features of musical terminology, as well as usage patterns based on a modern linguistic corpus. The conclusions and recommendations propose the modernization of dictionary entries through contextual labeling of terms and the implementation of an electronic updating protocol in TEI/XML format. The findings serve as a scientific foundation for adapting Uzbek lexicography to the requirements of the digital era.
