This paper investigates the structural composition and semantic stratification of linguistic units expressing socio-ethical concepts in the Uzbek language. Through a systematic linguistic approach, the research identifies key syntactic patterns, morphological features, and semantic layers inherent in expressions that encode moral and social values. Drawing from a corpus of Uzbek literary and spoken texts, the analysis highlights how these linguistic forms reflect the cultural and ethical mindset of Uzbek society. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the intersection between language, culture, and ethics, particularly in translation and cross-cultural communication contexts.
