Natural languages have their renowned syntactic rules that demonstrate their latent features. It is attributed in a form of free word order and some have conditions on the word order arrangement. As a consequence, the smallest unit in a sentence called word or lexicon has its unique function which determines the nature of the sentence. The categorized groups of functionalities of the words are termed as syntactic categories. The syntactic categories are also termed as Parts of Speech. Numerous NLP application benefits from this syntactic information, but for morphological rich languages like Tamil, the problem of tagging the every word in a particular part of speech remain a exigent task. This paper reports about the various approaches used for developing POS tagging and the developed POS taggers particularly for the Tamil language is discussed. Keywords: Tag Set, Suffix, Prefix, Parts-of-Speech, Tagging, Morphological Analysis, Hidden Markov Model (Hmm). Introduction The importance of parts-of-speech for language processing is about the detailed information it gives to the word and their neighbors. It is also termed as POS, word classes, morphological classes and lexical tags. The computational methods used in assigning parts-of-speech categories of words are termed as parts-of-speech tagging. Syntactic categories or parts-of-Speech tagging is defined as the process of marking the word [1] in a text in a particular part of speech according to a context. This plays a predominant role and serves as a preprocessing step in most of the NLP applications like information retrieval, Word disambiguation, Speech recognition, Machine translation, Name entity recognition, Text to speech, etc. Since numerous NLP applications rely Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:11 November 2015 Dr. (Mrs.) Ananthi Sheshasaayee, MCA., M.Phil., Ph.D. Angela Deepa.V.R., M.Sc., B.Ed. A Coherent Scrutinization on Syntactic Categories for Tagging Tamil Lexicon 1 on the syntactic categorical information, the need for developing an efficient POS tagging is important. Although the tagging of Indian languages gained interest in recent times the usage of tag sets by different research scholars leads to a chaotic situation. Standardization is the only dimension that can solve this discrepancy. Dravidian languages like Tamil are morphological rich in content and agglutinative in grammatical nature. Deep analysis is required at appropriate levels [1] to understand the feature of the languages. ` Taxonomy of POS Tagging POS tagging is broadly classified into supervised and unsupervised tagging. The following (figure. 1) demonstrates the different POS tagging used for natural language texts [2] linguistic rule, stochastic and a combination of both. Supervised tagging is a method that helps the system to learn the rules of tagging. It is based on pre-tagged corpus. Unsupervised tagging is an alternative method that uses algorithms to tag automatically the tag sets. It does not require a pre-tagged corpus. They are further divided into two distinct approaches for POS Tagging-Rule based and Stochastic approach [1]. The use of large database which consists of manual written linguistic rules to order the morphemes and the relative contextual information is termed as Rule based approach. The Stochastic approach involves the usage of unambiguously tagged text, which estimates the probabilities in selecting the most likely sequence.

A Coherent Scrutinization on Syntactic Categories for Tagging Tamil Lexicon 2 Figure 1: Various approaches of POS tagging Tagging Methodologies Tnt-A Statistical Part-of-speech tagger TnT tagger is a Hidden Markov Model, using the second-order form involving supervised tagging technique. This statistical model [7] consists of states representing tags in which the output word is predicted. The transition probabilities mainly rely on the pair of tags in which the output probabilities depend on the current category. This transition and output probabilities are based on the tagged corpus. Based on the relative frequencies, maximum likelihood probabilities were calculated.

The life style of the 21st century people is very different; their attitude and culture have changed .This change of viewpoint is visible in every field of life including Film and television. Nowadays there are several realty shows capturing the attention of the people. The electronic media influence the mind of people. Different television programs target different categories of people .For example the cartoon programs target kids; the realty shows target youth. The points of view of the directors and audience are changing in the modern era. In earlier time, women had only a decorative role in the films. Their representation was merely for satisfying the needs of men. The roles of women were always under the norms and rules of the patriarchal society. They were most often presented on the screen as sexual objects .Here women were abused twice, first by the male character in the film and second, by the spectators. But now the scenario is different. The viewpoint of the directors as well as the audience has drastically changed .In this era the directors are courageous enough to make films with women as central characters.

  • Feminism and Literature: a Study of Anita Nair's 'Mistress'
    International Journal of Academic Research and Development International Journal of Academic Research and Development ISSN: 2455-4197 Impact Factor: RJIF 5.22 www.academicsjournal.com Volume 3; Issue 1; January 2018; Page No. 1282-1285 Feminism and literature: A study of Anita Nair’s ‘Mistress’ Dr. Madhu Jindal Associate Professor of English, M.P. College of Women, Mandi Dabwali, Haryana, India Abstract Feminism is a belief that women should be allowed the same rights, power and chances as men and be treated in the same way or the set of activities intended to achieve this state. This is the definition one can notice in the oxford dictionary. The expression is as old as the English Language. Anita Nair has turned out to be a great success. “Mistress” is the story of women’s search for freedom and women’s conditions in a male dominated society. The novel raises the questions whether the role of an Indian woman as a representative of other women, living under oppressive patriarchal systems in relation to cultural resistance, should be restricted only to their roles as wives and mothers. In such a world, woman’s role is limited to reproduction regardless of her own desires and needs. Hence, this paper tries to point out how Anita Nair projects Indian feminism and attitude through women characters in her novels through her novels. Anita Nair has signaled the arrival of a sensitive writer who could perceive deeper mysteries in people’s personalities and take the reader on a wonderful journey of discovery. These novels have a talent for probing the insular world.

  • Chapter-Ii Journey of Women Novelists in India
    CHAPTER-II JOURNEY OF WOMEN NOVELISTS IN INDIA 2.1 Preliminaries This chapter deals with the study of „novel‟ as a popular literary genre. It traces the advent of the novel in India which is a product of colonial encounter. Essentially dominated by male writers, women‟s writings in the past were looked down upon as inconsequential. Literary contributions by Indian women writers were undervalued on account of patriarchal assumptions which prioritized the works of male experiences. For many women writers, who are products of strong patriarchal cultures, ability to write and communicate in the language of the colonizers represents power. Since English is the language of British-ruled colonies, literature written in English has often been used to marginalize and thwart female point of view. But in the post-colonial era, however, the ability to use language, read, write, speak and publish has become an enabling tool to question the absence of female authorial representation from the literary canon. Post-colonial studies sparks off questions related to identity, race, gender and ethnicity. Since one of the objectives of the post-colonial discourse is aimed at re- instating the marginalized in the face of the dominant some of the aspects it seeks to address through its fictions are those related to women‟s status in society, gender bias, quest for identity among others. As Rosalind Miles remarks, The task of interpretation of women‟s experience cannot be left to male writers alone, however sympathetic they might be. The female perspective expressed through women‟s writings of all kinds is more than a valuable corrective to an all-male view of the universe.1 Taking this argument into consideration, the present chapter will very briefly study the works of women novelists in India.

  • Indian Women in Anita Nair's Novel Ladies Coupe
    10 Asian Journal of Literature, Culture and Society Into the Vortex: Indian Women in Anita Nair’s novel Ladies Coupe Sushama Kasbekar ABSTRACT Indian society is even today cloistered, traditional and demands a special code of conduct from women. Gender bias continues to reign supreme, with the woman playing a largely subservient role in a male-dominated society. Indian society is class conscious and largely caste conscious. Caste differences reduce women in stature and confines them to a servile role. Yet there is a small but distinct change in this suffocating atmosphere. The woman is emerging from her essentially restricted role to the front stage both on the domestic front as well as the world at large. Anita Nair’s novel Ladies Coupe poses the question whether a woman can be alone and yet happy. The novel seeks to understand Indian women undergoing a metamorphosis and even a catharsis in the modernised ambience of cities. This paper will analyse the question of women as an entity grappling with her identity as a human being, not necessarily as a “mother,” “sister,” or “wife.” *** Indian women have gone through a quiet revolution. Contrary to popular belief, a large number of Indian women work. Though the society has a decisive patriarchal outlook, women are more assertive now and definitely play a positive role in the country’s march towards economic progress. Indian women were (and still are) subject to a secondary position in the family set-up. The man has the upper hand since he is, more often than not, the principal bread-winner of the family.
