Abstract: The article deals with Imperative forms of the first person non-singular number on the material of Siberian Turkic languages. Turkic imperative paradigms have many specific features, different from other finite paradigms: joint markers of mood, person and number, zero marker on the imperative of the 2nd person singular and some others. Imperative paradigms of Siberian Turkic languages (and Turkmen) have several forms of the 1st person non-singular number. Turcologists define them differently – as representing an opposition of binary and plural forms, that of inclusive and exclusive form, or distinguishing minimal and augmented inclusive forms. The article describes distribution of the 1st person non-singular imperative forms in a number of Siberian Turkic languages, their inventory and semantics. A special attention is paid to the category of clusivity, i.e. the exclusion or inclusion of the addressee into the reference scope of the described forms.

Keywords: Siberian Turkic languages, imperative, inclusive, minimal inclusive, augmented inclusive, exclusive
