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.
MGNN Tagalog part of speech tagset
Tagalog corpora in Sketch Engine are available with the MGNN Tagalog part-of-speech tagset. This PoS tagset is used by Stanford parser with the Filipino tagger model. Stanford parser was created by The Natural Language Processing Group at Stanford University.
An Example of a tag in the CQL concordance search box: [tag="NN.*"] finds all nouns, e.g. papel, Pilipino, (note: please make sure that you use straight double quotation marks)
