Abstract
We saw that looking up a word in a lexicon or carrying out a morphological analysis on it can leave it with an ambiguous part of speech. The word chair, which can be assigned two tags, noun or verb, is an example of ambiguity. It is a noun in the phrase a chair, and a verb in to chair a session. Ambiguity resolution, that is, retaining only one part of speech (POS) and discarding the others, is generally referred to as POS tagging or POS annotation.
