====== Morphological tags ======

A morphological tag (commonly called **tag**) is a summary of the grammatical information about a specific word ([[en:pojmy:pozice|position ]]) in the given context. A tag is usually automatically generated based on a [[en:pojmy:morfologicka_analyza|morphological analysis]] and a subsequent  [[en:pojmy:desambiguace|disambiguation]].

Tags are [[en:pojmy:atributy_pozicni|positional attributes]]. A morphological tag in the Czech CNC corpora consists of a sequence of symbols (letters and numbers) which have a specific meaning based on the position which they occupy in the code. In the Czech sentence //Po promoci na londýnské universitě odjel jsem roku 1878 do Netley na školení vojenských chirurgů.// the word form //promoci// (although this form is potentially morphologically ambiguous) has a morphological tag ''NNFS6-----A-----'', which indicates that it is a:
  * noun (=N)
  * common noun (=N)
  * femininum, i.e. feminine gender (=F)
  * singular number (=S)
  * in the sixth case, i.e. locative (=6)

===== Tagset =====

A set of rules and values which can occur in a tag is called a tagset. The positional [[en:seznamy:tagy#popis_jednotlivych_pozic_znacky|tagset used in the Czech CNC corpora]] has 16 positions (starting from SYN2020, we are using a modified tagset), each of which carries some information about a specific grammatical category:

  - Word class
  - A more detailed specification of word class
  - Grammatical gender
  - Number
  - Case
  - Possessive case
  - Possessive number
  - Person
  - Tense
  - Degree
  - Negation
  - Active/passive
  - //not used//
  - //not used//
  - Variant, stylistic marking etc..
  - Aspect


===== Tagsets used in the parallel corpus InterCorp =====
There are different tagsets for various languages. Description of these tagsets can be found [[en:cnk:intercorp:verze10#morphosyntactic_annotation|here]].
