Designing an Indonesian part of speech tagset and manually tagged Indonesian corpus

We describe our work on designing a linguistically principled part of speech (POS) tagset for the Indonesian language. The process involves a detailed study and analysis of existing tagsets and the manual tagging of an Indonesian corpus. The results of this work are an Indonesian POS tagset consisting of 23 tags and an Indonesian corpus of over 250.000 lexical tokens that have been manually tagged using this tagset.
