Rule-based Tagging: Morphological Tagset versus Tagset of Analytical Functions
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)
Abstract
This work presents a part of a more global study on the problem of parsing of Czech and on the knowledge extraction capabilities of the Rule-based method. It is shown that the successfulness of the Rule-based method for English and its unsuccessfulness for Czech, is not only due to the small cardinality of the English tagset (as it is usually claimed) but mainly depends on its structure (”regularity” of the language information).
