I wonder if Beth Levin's English Verb Classes and Alternations (1993)would have something in its bibliography that you can use? I found the book hard to find but a copy is floating around online somewhere.
You can see Quirk et al. "A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (General Grammar)". Chapter 8 is "The semantics and grammar of adverbials", and I believe this is one of the things you would need. One of the semantic roles of the adverbials is "time" (such as the adverb "last" in the adverbial "last week"). I think you will find what you are looking for in this book.
There are many more things within this book as well (it's almost 1800 pages!) and I highly recommend it.
