tag
(also called part-of-speech tag, POS tag or morphological tag) is a positional attribute assigned to each token in an annotated corpus to indicate the part of speech and often also grammatical categories and morphological information. The tool used to annotate a corpus is called a tagger. A collection of tags used in a corpus is called a tagset.
The most frequently used tags in a corpus are listed on the corpus info page of each corpus.
A POS tag is not a POS attribute. They are two different positional attributes.
Our blog post on POS tags explains how they work.
