Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a method for formalizing time expressions. First, the concept of an expression is classified into 17 categories for which a formal representation is defined. The proposed representation includes both conceptual and quantitative aspects. An algorithm for translating time expressions into the corresponding formal representation by using a shift-reduce parsing technique is presented. Experiments for about 2, 000 time expressions extracted from actual documents show that the proposed method yields correct interpretation in about 93% of the cases.
