This study investigates the role of topic-comment structure in the acquisition of English as a second language by adults. Oral narratives, both native and interlanguage, from speakers of three highly topic-prominent languages (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) and three relatively less topic-prominent languages (Arabic, Farsi, and Spanish) were analyzed. We found that 1) there were no differences in topic-prominence in the English interlanguage narratives of speakers in the two groups and 2) the interlanguage narratives as a whole were more topic-prominent than native English, and intermediate in topic-prominence between topic-prominent and non-topic-prominent native languages. These results support the hypothesis that second-language acquisition is, in general, characterized by an early topic-comment stage, independent of the learner's native language
