Abstract

The process of assigning one of the parts-of- speech(POS) to the given word in a text is called Parts-of-speech tagging. POS tagging is a very important pre-processing task for language processing activities. This paper made a detailed study about the taggers available on morphologically rich Dravidian languages which includes Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu. It also briefs various approaches used for POS tagging.
