  • Abstract
    The local grammar approach was first used to discuss recursive phrases that are commonly found in specialist literature like biochemistry and then extended to extract time, date and address expressions from letters. It has recently been applied to extract person names from English, Chinese, French, Korean, Portuguese, and Turkish news texts. This paper shows that this approach can also be used to extract person names from Arabic counterparts.
