Abstract

Time information extraction is very useful in natural language processing (NLP), as it can be used in text simplification, information extraction and machine translation systems. In this paper we present the first steps of making that information accessible for Basque language: on one hand, Basque structures that convey time have been analysed based on grammars and, on the other hand, first decisions on tagging those on real texts have been taken. Also, we give account of an annotating experiment we have carried out on a financial news corpus.
