• Resumen

  • Numeral determiners (noted Dnum) are used together with names of units (NUnit) to indicate quantities of varied kinds (e.g. two hundred square meters, one thousand Francs, I 000 F). Rules that lead to noun phrases of the type Dnum Nunit obey various constraints, among others, the rules of numeration in the decimal system.

    In the case of hours (a quarter to nine, six 0 'clock, two hours and fifteen minutes), numerical systems vary with the type of unit. We describe the noun phrases used to express time numerically by means of local grammars (i.e. graphs of finite automata). We describe the way hours and sub-units combine, in particular we introduce Pre- and Post- Determiners for numerals (e.g. about, almost, at least, more than). We also study possible abbreviations.

    The set of grammars obtained is formalized to a degree such that grammars can be transformed automatically into parsers and applied to corpora. Results, that is, adequacy and coverage, are discussed.
