Summary on Grant Application Form
To undertake a parallel word-class tagging of (a) 250000 words of the PAROLE 2 CORPUS, and (b) 1 million words of the British National Corpus (BNC), using the CLAWS4 tagger developed at Lancaster. At the same time, subcorpora (a) and (b) will also be tagged at Birmingham by the LUCID tagger developed there. The tagged versions will both make use of the same PAROLE tagset. A comparison of the two tagged versions will then be carried out, systematically across tags and lexemes multitagger at Leeds (Atwell) will be undertaken if and as opportunities arise. The three main deliverables of the project will be (I) the tagged Parole 2 subcorpus, (II) the tagged BNC subcorpus, and (III) the optmisation of the output of the combination of taggers.
