The purpose of this study is to verify the claim that the theory of markedness is applicable to the case of second language (L2) acquisition. In order to support this claim, the present study focuses on the acquisition of verb complements that permit (1) only infinitive complements, (2) only gerund complements, and (3) both types of complements. Data were obtained cross-sectionally from 110 Japanese adult English as a forign language (EFL) learners, and from adult Japanese subject, Kiyoshi. The present assumption is that as well as in the case of a child's first language (LI) acquisition, the infinitive verb complements, the unmarked structures, will be learned before gerund verb complements, the marked ones, even in the case of Japanese EFL learners. A written test containing 17 relevant verbs of the three categories above was administered. The results indicate that the present assumption is valid. The findings also indicate the following acquisition sequence of verb complements: (bare infinitive) → (contracted infinitive) → to infinitive → gerund.
