This article explores the systemic nature of divergent processes in the lexical structures of English and Uzbek. Divergence in lexical systems refers to the processes through which words evolve semantically, morphologically, and functionally across time and linguistic contexts. By employing a comparative and contrastive linguistic approach, this study identifies key mechanisms of divergence, including semantic shift, polysemy, borrowing, word formation, and sociocultural influence. The findings demonstrate that while both English and Uzbek exhibit universal patterns of lexical change, they differ significantly in their structural realization due to typological, historical, and cultural factors (Haspelmath, 2002; Geeraerts, 2010). This research contributes to theoretical linguistics by offering a structured framework for analyzing lexical divergence and provides practical implications for translation studies, language teaching, and lexicography.
