A tagset is a list of part-of-speech tags (POS tags for short), i.e. labels used to indicate the part of speech and sometimes also other grammatical categories (case, tense etc.) of each token in a text corpus.
Tibetan part-of-speech tagset is available in Tibetan corpora annotated with a Rule-based Part-of-speech Tagger for Classical Tibetan developed by a research project ‘Tibetan in Digital Communication’ hosted at SOAS, University of London.
An Example of a tag in the CQL concordance search box: [tag="n.prop"] finds all proper nouns, e.g. བོད་, རབ་འབྱོར་(note: please make sure that you use straight double quotation marks)
