metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper considers causal markers in Old Khmer, the language of epigraphic 7th–15th century
  monuments found in Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Consistently looking at
  the contexts of two lexemes, hetu and man, it ascertains that hetu (traceable to the Sanskrit
  noun “cause”) was used in the 10th–11th centuries as a specialized conjunction to introduce
  causal clauses. Modern Khmer has transformed hetu into the conjunction haet tae. Modern
  Khmer also widely uses haet in various consequence phrases (as against its merely sporadic
  occurrences in this meaning in Old Khmer). The conjunction man is another ancient causal
  marker, probably ascending to Old Javanese. In consistence with modern views on the emergence
  of causal markers, its causal function may have developed from its earlier temporal
  uses (“when”). Man is not found in Modern Khmer, having fallen out of use as early as in the
  Middle Khmer, the language of the 15th–18th century monuments. Our probe into causal constructions
  with hetu and man could not come up with any examples of Old Khmer constructions
  with dependent nominal causal phrases, while these are common in Modern Khmer,
  though evidently — as derivatives of dependent causal clauses. The paper also looks into the
  potential emergence paths for the modern causal markers prʊəh and daoj(-saː). Our conclusion
  is that the registered occurrences of the Old Khmer ancestors of these words (roḥ and
  toy, respectively) provide no definite clue as to their evolution or the exact period when they
  or their derivatives assumed the causal function. Nevertheless, the existence of their modern
  Thai (pʰrɔ́ʔ, dûay) and Lao (pʰɔ̄ʔ, dûay ) counterparts suggests that the Old Khmer also used
  the respective causal markers that were later borrowed by Tai languages.
