—The local grammar approach was first used to discuss recursive phrases that are commonly found in special-ist literature like biochemistry and then extended to extract time, date and address expressions from letters. It has recent-ly been applied to extract person names from English, Chi-nese, French, Korean, Portuguese, and Turkish news texts. This paper shows that this approach can also be used to ex-tract person names from Arabic counterparts.
