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.
Brazilian Portuguese TreeTagger part-of-speech tagset is available in Corpus Brasileiro annotated by the tool TreeTagger that was developed by Helmut Schmid in the TC project at the Institute for Computational Linguistics of the University of Stuttgart with using Pablo Gamalo’s parameter file.
