This study analyzes the acquisition process of -te shimau using longitudinal speech data from six Taiwanese learners of Japanese, collected over three and a half years in the LARP at SCU Corpus 2022. The analysis focuses on the frequency of use, forms, and the verbs preceding -te shimau. The results revealed that five of the six learners began using -te shimau at approximately the same time, and its frequency of use increased as their learning progressed. In the early stages, the form “non-volitional verb + -te shimau (past tense)” was mainly employed, suggesting that the acquisition of -te shimau begins with this form. On the other hand, as the learning period advanced, two learners showed an increase in the use of the non-past form of -te shimau, accompanied by an increase in the use of volitional verbs. In contrast, three learners almost exclusively used the “non-volitional verb + -te shimau (past tense)” form throughout the entire period. These findings indicate significant individual differences among learners regarding both the form and the types of verbs preceding -te shimau in the acquisition process.
