The path of a linguistically constructed law, which coincides with all the literary genres as an authentic language entity, intersects with literature, and this leads to the existence of an original literary form. The conceptual association and reference codes of this literary form are transformed into an aesthetic narrative with an interpretive wealth and representative analysis. On the one hand, this is the law of literature that evolves into a monumental construction through the internal tensions that dominate the philosophical world of law and the world of human affections; on the other hand, in terms of textual specificity and / or lit-erary quality, it is conceptualized as an analysis of the linguistic struc-ture of law and law as literature. In this study, we will try to illustrate the poetic sensitivity of Billy Budd, the unique novel of the great Ameri-can novelist of the modern age Herman Melville (1819-1891), into the conceptual universe of law through his original language universe, se-mantic structure, the world of meaning and frame of reference. Our aim is to carry out an analysis on the axiological dimension of the novel in the literary language through the conceptual antagonisms of the specific meaning world of law.
