Abstract
This paper reports research on temporal expressions. The analyzed phrases include a common temporal expression for a period of years reinforced by an adverb of time. Some of these phrases are age-related expressions. We analyzed samples of this type obtained from the Internet for Spanish and Italian to determine appropriate annotations for marking up text and possible translations. We present the results of comparison for four selected classes.
