The module is a probability based, corpus-trained tagger that assigns POS tags to English text based on a lookup dictionary and probability values. The tagger determines appropriate tags based on conditional probabilities - it looks at the preceding tag to figure out what the appropriate tag is for the current word. Unknown words will be classified according to word morphology or can be set to be treated as nouns or other parts of speech. The tagger also recursively extracts as many nouns and noun phrases as it can, using a set of regular expressions. WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/Lingua-EN-Tagger
