This tool assigns a part-of-speech tag and base form to each token in a text. It operates on text that has previously been tokenised and morphologically analysed. The POS tagger is a module of Apertium machine translation system. The provided tool can currently operate on a subset of the languages… Read More that are supported by the Apertium system, namely: English, Spanish, Calatan, Galician, Portuguese, Romanian and Basque.
NOTE: The morphological analysis required prior to running the POS tagger MUST be carried out by running the Apertium morphological analyser (which also performs tokeniaation).

The tool is provided as a UIMA component, specifically as Java archive (jar) file, which can be incorporated within any UIMA workflow.
