Help on labels

[Adriano]

Hi everyone,

I need to know the meaning of labels generated by tools (e.g. NN, VBZ, etc....)

I haven´t found this in documentation.

Thanks

I believe those comes from the Penn Treebank tagset.

Hi,
   Thanks for answering this.  I was at NAACL this week and am just getting a chance to look at this...Tom

Thanks a lot !!!

And what about spanish tags? It seems there are some differences, like /AQ instead of /JJ.

* I found an english tagset [ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/treebank/doc/tagguide.ps.gz], which seems to be more actual than the previous one.

Thanks for attention!
