    Dear list members,

     

    I'm looking for automatic POS tagging software for my research. Searches
    in internet often show literature about how to improve the accuracy and
    effectiveness of tagging programmes and about the algorithms used for
    tagging but not software that is available in the market. CLAWS is
    commonly used software but the problem is that it runs on UNIX, of which
    I have no knowledge.

     

    I would be grateful to anyone who could give me pointers on relevant
    software that is available in the market or on any relevant websites.
    The most suitable software for me should be user-friendly, able to
    produce reasonably accurate results, able to run on Windows and able to
    tag words with subclassification, e.g. to tag adjectives as predicates,
    attributes, superlatives, participles, etc.

     

    Best
