Layered Parts of Speech Tagging for Bangla

Debasri Chakrabarti

Abstract

In Natural Language Processing, Parts-of-Speech tagging plays a vital role in text processing for any sort of language processing and understanding by machine. This paper proposes a rule based Parts-of-Speech tagger for Bangla with layered tagging. There are 4 levels of Tagging which also handles the tagging of Multi verb expressions.

I. Introduction

The significance of large annotated corpora is a widely known fact. It is an important tool for researchers in Machine Translation (MT), Information Retrieval (IR), Speech Processing and other related areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Parts-of-Speech (POS) tagging is the task of assigning each word in a sentence with its appropriate syntactic category called Parts-of-Speech. Annotated corpora are available for languages across the world, but the scenario for Indian languages is not the same. In this paper I have discussed a rule based POS tagger for Bangla with different layer of tagging. The paper also shows how the layered tagging could help in achieving higher accuracy.
