    <Paragraph position="0"> hi this paper, we presented a method for identification of temporal exi)ressions and their syntactic functions based on FST aim lexical data extracted fl:om corpus. Since tenlporal words have the syntactic ambiguity when used in a sentence, it; is impo&gt; tant to identify the syntactic functioll as well as the temporal expression itself.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> For the purpose, we manually extracted lexical c(&gt; occurrences tY=om large corpus aim it was possible as the number of temporal nouns is tractable enough to manipulate lexical data t)y hand. As shown in tile result, lexical co-occurrences are crucial for dismnbiguating the syntactic flmction of the tenlporal expression. Besides, the finite state approach provide(l an eftieient model for temporal expression processing. Combined with the clmnker, it helped renmrkably lessen, by 1)runing irrelewmt candidates, intermediate structures generated while parsing.</Paragraph>
