Using TreeTagger

I recently used TreeTagger to get the part-of-speech (POS) of English and French texts. As mentioned in its original website [1], TreeTagger is a language independent tool used for annotating text with part-of-speech and lemma information.

Installation is pretty easy. One just needs to follow the instructions given in the website. After the installation it will tell you something like :

You should add /home/nobal/TreeTagger/cmd and /home/nobal/TreeTagger/bin to the command search path.

And here is how you can add path (in ubuntu) :

sudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc
at the end of file

PATH=$PATH:~/TreeTagger/bin:~/TreeTagger/cmd
export PATH

Don't forget to restart the terminal to get the effects. To verify, use this command:

echo $PATH
