Researchers have argued that the developmental sequence of tense-aspect morphology in second language (L2) acquisition follows a universal patter (the Aspect Hypothesis; e.g., Robison, 1995). Although such a tendency fits the acquisition of typologically similar languages (ENglish, Frenchadn Spanish), the universal claim requires testing against non-Indo European language This study tested tha Aspect Hypothesis using L2 Japanese (JSL) data. Experiment 1 showed that in oral production data, 3 learners of JSL showed stronger association of achievement verbs and past marking (-ta), and of activity verbs and progressive/durative marking (-te i-), than native speakers. Experiment 2 showed that in an acceptibility judgment test of tense-aspect forms, 17 learners of JSL had more difficulty correctly judging the acceptibility of the progressive/durative marker (-te i-) with achievement verbs than with activity verbs. The results extend the applicability of the Aspect Hypothesis to a non-Indo-European language.
