[Corpora-List] Universal POS Tagset

[Adam Teichert]

Hello all.


  I've been looking for a POS tagset that is general enough to
effectively tag "any" natural language.  (I'm looking at Linguistic
Typology / Universal Implications so I want to compare POS taggings
across many [possibly obscure] languages.) Does anyone know of such a
tagset?

  If anyone is interested in what I've found so far, this paper seems relevant:
    "Induction of Fine-grained Part-of-speech Taggers via Classifier
Combination and Crosslingual Projection" (Elliott Franco Dr´abek,
David Yarowsky)
    http://acl.ldc.upenn.edu/W/W05/W05-0807.pdf

  Also, I'm aware of some efforts at Microsoft Research India, to
perhaps develop a "universal" tagset for Indian Languages:

  Thanks for any ideas.
