Summary/Abstract: This research is an attempt at determining a normative module of the use of non-prepositional preverbal locative from a system-language (according to the grammar of the language) and communicative-oral (according to the text of the language of the Faith) point of view. Special attention has been paid to the semantic structure of the preverbal object in the non-prepositional locative in presenting the higher substances of holiness – the concepts of Christian Faith of the highest rank leading to metaphorization of the text and overconnotation of the signified as “spatial convergence between the subject and the object with fateful qualitative consequences”. The use of other forms - prepositional as well as non-prepositional lowers the denotation to the standard communicative-oral “earthly” narrative and has no direct attitude to the language of faith as it draws attention to the verb action itself. Introduced into the normative paradigm of the initial Slavonic translations of the language of faith the non-prepositional preverbal locative acquires the status of a specific modal-language means of god knowledge and could be used as a detailed functional-semantic differentiation of the range of verbs servicing the watched positions.
