N2 - The paper focuses on the development of language tools used to express directive meanings in Russian L1 acquisition based on the recordings of the spontaneous speech of two Russian children, a boy (1;6-2;8 years) and a girl (1;6-3;7 years). The acquisition of directives in Russian begins with imperative or infinitive forms. Singular imperative forms (e.g. Daj! ‘give.IMP.2SG’) are dominant during the whole period of observation in both adults and children. From the beginning of the third year of life children start to use the hortative and its frequency steadily increases both in child-directed speech and child speech. Periphrastic constructions with the imperative particle davaj (Davaj spojom! ‘Let’s sing!'), modal adverbs (Nado poigrat’! ‘It is necessary to play’) and elliptic constructions occur later in Russian child speech. Indirect requests expressed by hortatives and constructions with modal verbs and particles are deeply influenced by child-directed speech and therefore develop at a different pace in the speech of the two subjects. However, as far as the repertoire of verb forms used in directive utterances is concerned, children are selective in the choice of imperative lemmas and do not simply repeat the forms used by their parents.
