In this paper, the problem of tense-aspect acquisition is addressed within a typologically-broad view. As opposed to the now prevailing universalistic approach, dictating the language-independent triggering role of aspect/actionality, it is suggested that the morphological set-up of the target language guides the acquisition process, with overtly marked categories as the leading factor. Initial evidence for this typologically-oriented approach stems from the acquisition data of three Italian children and an Austrian- German child, specifically from: (a) the interplay of actionality and aspect; (b) the respective acquisition timing of temporal adverbs and past-/future-referring tenses; (c) the correlation of lexical spurt and past-tense acquisition.
