Part Of Speech Tagger
The output of a morphological analyzer is usually ambiguous as it may return more than one part-of-speech (POS) tag for a single word. The reason being that in sentences, for example, same word can be used as a noun or a verb, as a verb or a postposition. The job of a part-of-speech tagger is to disambiguate that ambiguous input by making use of the context information. A part-of-speech tagger is also known as a morphological disambiguator or simply a tagger.
A part of speech tag is an abbreviated form of the word class and other grammatical information. For instance, in this POS tagger ‘NNMSD’ tag is used for noun (NN) word class words having masculine (M) gender, singular (S) number, and direct (D) case. Most of the POS taggers have similar POS tags. However, the number of tags in a tagger depends upon the depth of the grammatical information required to be represented through the POS tags.
