A tagset is a list of part-of-speech tags (POS tags for short), i.e. labels used to indicate the part of speech and sometimes also other grammatical categories (case, tense etc.) of each token in a text corpus.

Chinese Symbols of parts of speech are available in Chinese corpora annotated with tagging tool developed by Institute of Information Science and CKIP group in Academia Sinica.

An example of a tag: [tag=”V.*”] for all types of verbs (usage in the CQL concordance search box)
