Based on the Chinese-Japanese bilingual data, this thesis makes a relatively detailed comparison between the expressions of aspects in the two languages and traces the causes of all the errors of aspect markers by Japanese learners of Chinese.

Then suggestions were given on the teaching of Chinese aspect markers to Japanese learners.This thesis is made up of seven chapters:Introduction, Aspect markers in Chinese, The expression of aspects in Japanese, Contrast of Chinese and Japanese, The error analysis of Chinese aspect markers, Summary and suggestions, Conclusion.
