TELUGU PARTS OF SPEECH TAGGING IN WSD
T. Sree Ganesh, M.A., M.Phil.
CORPUS ANALYSIS FOCUSES ON LINGUISTIC DESCRIPTION OF PERFORMANCE
In modern Linguistics trend 'Corpus Analysis' is a remarkable stream. 'Corpus Analysis' is useful in any area of Linguistics like Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Socio-linguistics, Machine Translation and Computational Linguistics and so on. It focuses on the description of quantitative patterns of Linguistic elements.
Mainly it focuses on the Description of Linguistic Performance in a particular language. Today linguistics believes that what people actually use is the real language. It reflects on the ideological as well as technological meanderers in Linguistics. Ideological changes makes from the path of intuition based rationalistic assumption. The technological change i.e. computers posses and delivers massive storage facilities and impressive processing. In this paper we deal the corpus analysis for parts of speech tagging rules in technological way. For that we observe the definitions to 'corpus-corpora'.
CORPUS-CORPORA
The word corpus is derived from the Latin word, which means 'body'. Corpus is a limited sized body of machine readable texts sampled in order to be maximally representative of the language variety under consideration. It has the quality of 'representativeness.' There are many definitions to corpus given by Linguists.
TYPES OF CORPORA
In Corpora the types include texts as well as the combinations. It is very difficult to design an organized scheme of corpus classification based on the content. With the features, which are discussed below Corpora are classified into the following way by usage.
USES OF CORPORA
In modern linguistics 'corpus' study is very essential part to do any research activity. Corpus studies show the total structure of a particular language before our eye. Corpus studies are very useful in speech research, lexical studies, psycholinguistics and NLP and so on.
TAGS
With help of Tags, we develop the "Telugu Tag Set". In Telugu there are mainly five POSes. They are
- Noun
- Pronoun
- Verb
- Adjective
- Avyea (ayaya).
We make a sub-classification of these main POS further depending upon the context.
This paper illustrates the procedure involved in POS Tagging for Telugu, which can also be applied to the analysis of other Indian languages.
