This brief paper puts forward the hypothesis that lexical transfer in language learning, whether positive or negative, can and does sometimes occur on account of chance phonological resemblances between non-cognate (i. e. etymologically unrelated) items of vocabulary in the native language and the target language. Focusing on a particular case in point, namely the occasional misapprehension, by some Japanese learners of English, of spoken English "nine" as 7,with the interference of Japanese nana (7) as the suspected cause, the paper proceeds to evaluate the above interference hypothesis by analysing empirical data collected from written responses to a taperecorded test administered, under strict examination conditions, at a four-year university in January and at a women's junior college in February, 1992,in Fukuoka Prefecture, South-West Japan.
