| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have researched some compound words or some phrases in Japanese, i.e. "toutyaku-suru sunzen", "kekkon-sunzen"; they are some kind of aspectual (temporal) expressions. They are, however, indeclinable words ("taigen"), not declinable ("yougen"). Japanese aspectual forms have been considered declinable, especially verbal forms(i.e. "-te iru"). But, the contemporary Japanese language has not only declinable aspectual forms, but also an amount of indeclinable ones. These indeclinable aspectual forms can, however, be declinable, by adding some clitics; just as verbal forms. Therefore, we have to reconsider the distinction between Verb and Noun.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
従来「アスペクト」と呼ばれてきた表現形式は、「-ている」「-てある」など用言型（特に動詞型）の形式に局限されてきたが、「-中（ちゅう）」「-寸前」など体言型のものを視野に入れることにより、アスペクト表現同士の使い分け、その歴史的変化、或いは活用の体系、「1単語とは何ぞや？」など様々なテーマにおいて見直しを迫るものとなり、新たな研究テーマの広がりを提供することができる。またその応用として、アスペクト表現の働きから物語の叙述を分析したり、言語哲学、言語心理学などへの発展も期待できる。
