The following tagset was used to tag PICLE and other corpora.
The accuracy of the assignment of especially the features may vary, but the major wordclasses have been largely verified.

TOSCA-ICLE Tagset

 

I. FULL INVENTORY OF TOSCA-ICLE TAGS

 

Most tags take the form of WORDCLASS(feature1,feature2,...)

Features are described in more detail here.

The following list of 220 possible tag combinations does not contain ditto tags. In principle all multi-token units can be discontinuous. For this reason the feature ‘disc’ can occur in all ditto tags. As ditto tags do not occur in the list, tags with the discontinuity feature are absent, too.
