Part-of-speech tag sets
Depending on the language of the documents that are analyzed, Content Analytics Studio uses several kinds of tag sets for part-of-speech tagging. These part-of-speech tags appear as a property value of the uima.tt.TokenAnnotation type when a document is analyzed with a UIMA pipeline.
The following tables list the part-of-speech tags that are used for English and other
languages such as German, French, and Arabic. For information about the part-of-speech tags that are
used for Hebrew, Korean, Turkish, Chinese, and Japanese documents, see the Content Analytics Studio
context-senstive help.
