Problem of making a tag file for concordance and wordlist

[Muhammad Anisur Rahman Akanda]

Hello everyone, Thank you in advance,

How can I handle a tag file for concordance and wordlist? My corpus consists of 140 news reports in the research of the WS8 tools. Every report has a title and a news body. But the problem is in making a tag list for Parts of Speech (POS). If the tag list is Ok, how can I run it in concordance or wordlist? Can anyone give me the easy way?  My tag list follows:

<w AJO>economic

<w AJO>Chinese

<w AJC>more

<w ATO>the/a/an

<w ATO>no

<w AVO>often

<w AVO>very

<w AVO>also

<w AVP>in

<w AVQ>when

<w CJC>and/but

<w CJS>although/as

<w CJT>that

<w CRD>two

<w DPS>our/their/her

<w DTO>all

<w EXO>there

<w NN1>minister/development/cooperation

<w NN2>countries/relations

<w NPO>China/Beijing

<w NPO>Bangladesh/Dhaka

<w NPO>PM

<w ORD>last/next

<w PNP>I/we/you/they

<w PNQ>who

<w POS>’s/’

<w PRF>of

<w PRP>at

<w TO0>to

<w VBB>be

<w VBD>was/were

<w VBG>being

<w VBI>to be

<w VBN>been

<w VBZ>is/’s

<w VDB>do

<w VDD>did

<w VHB>have/’ve

<w VHD>had/’d

<w VHG>having

<w VHI>to have

<w VHZ>has

<w VMO>shall/will/can/may/should/would/could/might/’ll/’d

<w VVB>say

<w VVD>said

<w VVG>saying

<w VVI>to visit

<w VVN>said

<w VVZ>says

With best wishes

Akanda, I have tried (and obviously failed) to help you several times already privately.

You need POS-tagged text. Unless you have POS-tagged text you will not process parts of speech using WordSmith. Please use Google to read up on what POS-tagging is and find a way of getting your texts POS-tagged. Only with that can your work proceed.

Do not post here again until you've found out what POS tagging is and got your texts tagged.
