   I am looking for information on how people talk about times and dates.
   In particular, I am interested in references to papers on what forms of
   expression are common, and what forms are common but inherently
   ambiguous. ("Next week-end" is clearly in the later category.) References
   from the linguistic, psycholinguistic, natural language, or cognitive science
   areas are of interest.

The ATIS pilot corpus available from NIST contains time and date
references in the context of queries for flight information.  The
corpus includes speech, transcriptions, and answers for over 700
queries collected in a spontaneous setting.  It comes on a CD-ROM for
some nominal cost.

To contact NIST:

Dave Pallett;   (301) 975-2935; dave@jaguar.ncsl.nist.gov
John Garofolo; (301) 975-3193; john@jaguar.ncsl.nist.gov
