We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is

Subject:  Map Task

Tue, 2 April, 1996.

I obtained MAP TASK from Human Communication Research Centre,
Edinburgh University and was told the waveforms are supplied with
NIST-compatible headers but that they did not know any product names
of the application(s) which handle the waveforms contained in MAP TASK
CD-Rom.  Nor do any computer scientists of my university know what
applications exist.

I should be grateful if someone knows some commercially produced
application for Apple Macintosh and let me know it.

Subject:  Qs: Classification of time expressions

Hello!

I'm involved in a project on the implementation of vague lexical time
expressions in temporal data bases.  I would like to know if there
exist any (linguistic) classifications/typologies of time expressions.
Just the distinctions point-interval, relational-situational,
bound-unbound are not enough for our purposes.  So if you know of any
more detailed typologies, I would be very grateful if you let me know.
I will post a summary to the list.

Thanks,
