1. Introduction

Defining Part-of-Speech Tagging

• Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging is an NLP process of assigning specific POS tags, such as noun, verb, adjective, etc., to each word in a text, providing valuable grammatical context.

2. Setting Up the Environment

Required Libraries

import nltk
nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger')
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

Sample Text Preparation

• Creating a simple text to demonstrate POS tagging.

sample_text = "Natural language processing enables computers to understand human language."

3. Implementing POS Tagging

POS Tagging Process

• A fundamental step in text analysis and NLP tasks, providing insights into the grammatical structure of sentences.

Utilizing NLTK for POS Tagging

• Applying NLTK's POS tagging to tokenize and tag the sample text.

tokens = word_tokenize(sample_text)
pos_tags = nltk.pos_tag(tokens)

Analyzing Tagged Data

• Understanding the output, where each word is paired with its corresponding POS tag, helps in syntactic and semantic analysis.
