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.

Indian part-of-speech tagset created in terms of the Indian Language Machine Translation (ILMT) project comprising various Indian languages.

An Example of a tag in the CQL concordance search box[tag="N.*"]finds all nouns, e.g. ಮೇಲೆ, ಬಗ್ಗೆ (note: please make sure that you use straight double quotation marks)

Common value for all the attributes:

  • Not-applicable (0)
    – When any value is not applicable to the category or the relevant morpho-syntactic feature is not available.
    – When the category is a binary valued category, i.e., the values of a particular Attribute are ‘yes’ and ‘no’ as in the case of Emphatic, Negative, Definiteness etc.; annotate/select the value as ‘yes’ only when the morphological attribute is present. Otherwise, annotate as ‘no’.
  • Undecided or doubtful (x)
    – when the annotator is not sure about a possible attribute, instead of marking on the basis of doubt, tag it as ‘x’, e.g., inherently ambiguous cases would be given priority of the contexts; but if they still remain disambiguated, annotate the attributes to be ‘x’.
