Synopsis

Abstract: This chapter presents a free software program that can be used for POS tagging in a multiplicity of languages that do not have automatic taggers. The program aims to facilitate the work with corpora in these languages through Natural Language Processing. Its operation allows the manual tagging process to be gradually automated thanks to a system that makes it possible to recall and reuse tags, as well as to handle large amounts of text and to generate output files in XML format with tags based on the EAGLES system.
Resumen: En este capítulo se presenta un software libre que puede utilizarse para el etiquetado de POS en una multiplicidad de lenguas que no cuentan con etiquetadores automáticos. El programa busca facilitar el trabajo con corpus en estas lenguas a través de la lingüística computacional. Su funcionamiento permite que el proceso manual de etiquetado se convierta poco a poco en automático gracias a un sistema que permite recordar y reutilizar las etiquetas, de la misma manera en que permite manejar grandes cantidades de textos y generar archivos de salida en formato XML con etiquetas basadas en el sistema EAGLES.
