Syntactic Wordclass Tagging

Part of the book series: Text, Speech and Language Technology ((TLTB,volume 9))

Abstract

As already stated in Chapter 8, a linguistic tagger can consist of the following modules:1

  • Tokenizer (identification of words and punctuation marks)

  • Morphological analyser (introduction of ambiguities)

    • lexical analyser

    • analyser of unknown words (‘guesser’)

  • Morphological disambiguator (ambiguity resolution)

    • grammar

    • heuristic grammar(s)

Our attention is on the last main item on the list, the morphological disambiguator. We will describe what we call the linguistic paradigm in tagging: disambiguation of morphological ambiguities is accomplished by means of constraint rules proposed by a grammarian.2
