Abstract
This paper describes the conception of a rule-based tagger (part-of-speech disambiguator) of Czech currently developed for tagging theCzech National Corpus (cf. [2]). The input of the tagger consists of sentences whose words are assigned all possible morphological analyses. The tagger disambiguates this input by successive elimination of tags which are syntactically implausible in the sentential context of the particular word. Due to this, the tagger promises substantially higher accuracy than current stochastic taggers for Czech. This is documented by the results concerning the disambiguation of the most frequent ambiguous word form in Czech - the wordse.
The work described is funded by theGAČR grant No. 405/96/K214.
