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.
SWATWOL part-of-speech tagset is available in Swahili (also known as Kiswahili) corpora.
An Example of a tag in the CQL concordance search box: [tag="N"] finds all nouns, e.g. watu, mwaka (note: please make sure that you use straight double quotation marks)
