| Research Abstract |
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.
