ABSTRACT
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The objectives of this paper are twofold, whereby the computer program is meant to be a particular implementation of a general natural Language \[NL\] proeessin~ system \[NI,PSI which could be used for different domains. The first obiective is to provide a theory for processing temporal information contained in a well-structured, technical text. The second obiective is to argue for a knowledge-based approach to NLP in which the parsing procedure is driven bv extra Linguistic knowledRe.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The resulting computer program incorporates enough domain-specific and ~enera\[ knowledge so that the parsing procedure can be driven by the knowledge base of the program, while at the same time empLoyin~ a descriptively adequate theory of syntactic processing, i.e., X-bar syntax. My parsing algorithm not only supports the prevalent theories of knowledge-based parsin~ put forth in A\[, but also uses a sound linguistic theory for the necessary syntactic information processing.</Paragraph>
