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.
This Czech part-of-speech tagset is available in Czech corpora and also Slovak corpora annotated by Majka morphological analyzer.
An Example of a tag in the CQL concordance search box: [tag="k1.*nP.*"] finds all nouns in plural, e.g. lidé, roky (note: please make sure that you use straight double quotation marks)
The whole tag is comprised of pairs – attribute and its value – the attribute is represented by a single lower case (n for numbers) and its value by a single capital letter (P for plural). Each tag starts with the 2 characters representing part of speech, e.g. k1 means noun, k2 means adjective, etc. This Czech PoS tagset is called “attributive” because each attribute consists of attribute-value pairs, e.g. gF means gender (g) feminine (F). The order of attributes and their values is canonical as follows:
kegncpamdxytzw~
This means that gender (g) precedes number (n) which is before case (c) etc. For example, the tag "k2.*gFnSc7.*" searches for all feminine singular adjectives in the instrumental cases (the incorrect form would be "k2.*nSgFc7.*" when number is before gender).
