An investigation is made of the validity of the hypothesis that second-language learning in school-age children follows the same development as first language acquisition, specifically with respect to negatives, interrogatives, and imperatives. The English of two Japanese boys acquiring English in a natural setting was observed over a five-month period. The analysis and comparison of their language to first language acquisition data (especially Klima and Bellugi 1966) showed a striking basic similarity between first and second language learners. There was no clear evidence of transfer from the children’s mother tongue.
