Vipul Saluja, Jyotshna Dongardive . A POS-Tagged Corpus for Dogri: Development and Annotation using DogriTag. International Journal of Computer Applications. 187, 59 ( Nov 2025), 36-43. DOI=10.5120/ijca2025926001
Abstract
This paper discusses about the process used to create a linguistically selected and manually annotated Part of Speech (POS) tagged corpus for Dogri. Dogri is a low resource and Indo Aryan language that is spoken in the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and in some regions of Pakistan. Dogri is poorly represented in Natural Language Processing (NLP) despite the sufficient number of speakers and the official recognition. This is due to the absence of resources such as defined tag sets, annotated corpora and annotation specific tools. To fill this gap, a POS tagged Dogri corpus was developed from a domain-specific subset of the Linguistic Data Consortium for Indian Languages (LDC-IL). This corpus has about 25,000 sentences (approximately 400,000 tokens). A specialized web platform named DogriTag was developed that can track audits and make semi-automated tag suggestions, to do the annotation. To check the quality of the annotations, inter annotator agreement analysis was used. The results show a Cohen's Kappa score of 0.89 indicating a lot of agreement. This resource is very important for making NLP tools like POS taggers, syntactic parsers, and morphological analyzers for Dogri. Future work will include adding more tags, using pretrained language models to transfer information between languages, and covering more areas.
