[Corpora-List] English POS tagged corpus

[Eric Atwell]

Gaurav,

The SourceForge open-source Python Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK)
http://nltk.sourceforge.net/
is a student-oriented teaching resource with a bundle of corpus and
lexical resources including PoS-tagged Brown corpus of US English:

20_newsgroups  genesis    lexicon        roget      treebank
brown          gutenberg  names          semcor1.7  treebank_swb
chunking       ieer       nltk-data-0.3  senseval   wordnet
cmp-lg         levin      ppattach       stopwords  words

It also comes with demo software and easy-to-follow tutorials and
API documentation for tokenization, tagging, parsing, and probabilistic
modelling.  As it's open-source, new contributions keep on coming;
eg latest News says "Christopher Maloof's implementation of the Brill
tagger has been added to the development version of NLTK".

Of course, other tagged corpora are available from ICAME, LDC, ELRA etc
but you may have to pay, and they dont come with demo software/tutorials
(admittedly you didnt say you wanted any associatied software/tutorials
:-)

hope this helps

Eric
