Abstract
The subject of the article is the specificity of metalinguistic reflection in children's speech. The article analyzes the linguocreativе nature of children's questions, particularly broadcasting the image of the world of the child and the nature of the processing of linguistic information in the light of cognitions formed. Metalinguistic reflection is characterized as one of the naturally evolving strategies of language acquisition in ontogeny, showing the analytical instinct and cognitive activity of the child. The purpose of the research is to identify unique children's innovations related to the reflection of their form and content, in terms of the associative and functional content. The main method is discourse analysis of metalinguistic statements recorded in the spontaneous speech of children in the form of a question. Particular emphasis is laid upon the interdependence of compensatory and deliberate creativity of the child, exhibiting the ability to make a conscious violation of the language of the canon. Metalinguistic component of children's issues provides an opportunity to assess the child's creativity, speech acts in terms of fluency, flexibility, originality. Children's questions are classified into those regarding the logic of things and the logic of language nomination, their correlation is established. This analysis reveals the following features of metalinguistic reflection in the formation of the language person: 1) development of linguistic abilities in "reading" motivational word forms and application of derived algorithms in creative word activity; 2) the expression of a child's uniqueness in the perception of aspects of the world and the language of processed information; 3) modeling function in the formation of dynamic subsystems child's speech, allowing the child to realize their nominative and communicative needs.

Summary
Проделанный анализ позволяет выделить следующие функции метаязыковой рефлексии в формировании языковой личности: 1) развитие лингвокреативных способностей в области «прочтения» мотивационной формы слова и применения выведенных алгоритмов в словотворческой деятельности; 2) выражение ребенком собственной уникальности в восприятии аспектов окружающего мира и перерабатываемой языковой информации; 3) моделирующая функция в формировании динамических подсистем детской речи, позволяющих ребенку реализовать свои коммуникативные и номинативные потребности. Инновации детской речи – уникальный феномен, в основе которого лежит ассоциативная обработка уже усвоенных единиц языка и «выведение» алгоритмов их порождения, что позволяет увидеть механизмы лингвокреативного (ассоциативного) мышления ребенка в «действии».
