[Corpora-List] Part-of-speech tagger

[Afsaneh Fazly]

Greetings,

  I need to build a part-of-speech tagger for a new language
(for which there is no PoS-tagger available). For this, I need
to hand-annotate a minimum amount of text. I would like to know
how much text (minimum of course) I need to hand-tag. Also,
for this much text, what is the reasonable size of the tagset
used for annotation?

Regards,

Afsaneh
