Semantic development and modern state of the prepositional system is an actual area of scientific research. Prepositions form a part of language system, which is located at the junction of grammar and lexical semantics. Consequently, all registered changes (grammatical changes as well as semantic changes) give evidence of basic, fundamental cognitive shifts in language consciousness of speakers. The researcher’s goal is to explain the nature and the pattern of these shifts, describing the shifts’ regularities by applying the formal methodology. The proposed paper presents a fragment of such description. Aim — describe the obsolete and modern non-spatial meanings of adverbial preposition "bliz". Methodology — the description involves semantic and syntactic analysis of adverbial preposition "bliz", which permits to distinguish the semantic shades being actualized in the context. The research is carried out on the material of the Main, Middle-Russian, Church-Slavonic, Media and Poetic Corpora, as well as the RuTenTen Corpora, which represents the tendencies of the preposition usage in the modern discourse. Scientific novelty for the theory of communication is in the fact that the paper describes non-spatial meanings of adverbial preposition "bliz", which are typical mostly for the Internet-communication — a live conversation environment. From the point of general linguistic view the novelty is justified by the necessity of complete functional words’ description, the description that consists the basis of the core grammar compulsory for language formalization and communication between a human and Artificial Intelligence. Results — the paper presents a semantic taxonomy of non-spatial meanings of adverbial preposition "bliz". Practical significance — presented examples can be used as an illustrative material in the university courses, such as the theory communication, lexicology and the history of language.
