Part-of-speech Tagset and Corpus Development for Igbo, an African
Ikechukwu Onyenwe, Chinedu Uchechukwu, Mark Hepple · 2014
This project aims to develop linguistic resources to support computational NLP research on the Igbo language. The starting point for this project is the development of a new part-of-speech tagging scheme based on the EAGLES tagset guidelines, adapted to incorporate additional language internal features. The tags are currently being used in a part-of-speech annotation task for the development of POS tagged Igbo corpus. The proposed tagset has 59 tags.
