Towards a Constraint Grammar Based Morphological Tagger for Croatian

A Constraint Grammar (CG) uses context-dependent hand-crafted rules to disambiguate the possible grammatical readings of words in running text. In this paper we describe the development of a CG- based morphological tagger for Croatian language. Our CG tagger uses a morphological analyzer based on an automatically acquired inflectional lexicon and an elaborate tagset based on MULTEXT-East and the Croatian Verb Valence Lexicon. Currently our grammar has 290 rules, organized into cleanup and mapping rules, disambiguation rules, and heuristic rules. The grammar is implemented in the CG3 formalism and compiled with the vislcg3 open- source compiler. The preliminary tagging performance is P: 96.1%, R: 99.8% for POS tagging and P: 88.2%, R: 98.1% for complete morphosyntactic tagging.
