In this paper, I report on a study that investigated the second language (L2) acquisition of morphology of C, which heads the embedded CP from which a wh-phrase was extracted by long-distance wh-movement. A grammatically judgement task including interrogative sentences with long-distance wh-movement was administered to Japanese learners of English of different levels of proficiency. Results revealed that learners acquire the that form of C earlier than its null counterpart. Moreover, their judgement of Subjacency violation indicated that the spec-head agreement configuration in embedded CP is more correctly observed when the head C is realised as that. These data are compatible with the data from LI acquisition studies, and the view that the acquisition of grammatical operations is governed by UG.
