This research is devoted to formal axiological semantics of the natural language in general and that of the natural language of ethics (moral philosophy) and religion in particular. The method applied is discrete mathematical modelling: the categories of “being”, “nonbeing”, “permitting”, “killing”, “suicide”, “God”, “faith”, “hope”, “love”, and others are defined and studied as evaluation-functions determined by a finite number of evaluationvariables. The article demonstrates the effectiveness of the generalized linguistic principle of compositionality when applied to the language of morality and religion. Thus, it is shown that semantics of the language of culture is in fact not formal-logical (truth-functional) but formal-axiological (value-functional).
