This paper is a result of a typologically-oriented study of the Atayal TMA system. The data is approached under the framework of the TMA Questionnaire of Dahl (1985). Five markers that are found in the perfect-related contexts of the Questionnaire are described in more detail. For each marker it is suggested which cross-linguistic category type it might represent and how this language-specific realization fits into known typology for the category.
