Abstract

Taggin is the proces of assigning morphological, sytactic and /or semantic information to linguistic units in a text. The most important problems in connection with tagging are, of course, those related to subject matter, but in computerized tagging systems, which this article is about, there are also several technical problems. They automatically announce thermselves, and have to be solved one way or the other. In this paper a fairly extensive description of a computer system (THE TAGGER) is given, which is an attempt to solve some of the problems diswcussed. This article is non-technical in the sense that it presupposes no actual Knowledge of programming, but some general experience of computers and computational linguistics is of course helpful.
