Tense and Aspect in Khmer

高棉语不像日语那样用动词形式来表示时态。然而，在近年来的语料库中发现了过去时标记。本研究考察了现代高棉语料中代表时间的相位标记和表达的使用情况。我们试图描述这些标记和表达的用法。在研究过程中，柬埔寨和泰国研究人员合作，就文本语料库作为材料和分析方法提供咨询意见。本研究的主要成果已在期刊上发表，同时也为高棉语作为外语的教育做出了贡献。

Khmer language does not represent a tense by verb forms unlike Japanese language. However past tense markers are observed in the text corpus of recent years. This study investigated the usage of the aspect markers and expressions representing the time in the modern Khmer language materials. We tried to describe the usage of these markers and expressions. In the research process, Cambodian and Thai researchers cooperated in advising on the text corpus as materials and on the method of analysis. The main results of this study were published in the journal articles and also contribute to the Khmer language education as a foreign language.
