Abstract
This research explores the nature of computational tagging of lexical categories and analyzes how natural language processing handles language on computational level which is juxtaposed with manual tagging to highlight the difference between the two constraints of lexical tagging. The researcher aims to seek how POS manual tagging differs from computational tagging heeding the restrictions and executed limitations of computational tagging and how POS tagging can be incorporated in ELT by the instructors as a helpful material for designing language activities at undergraduate levels. For this purpose, chapter one and ten are taken from the novel “The Animal Farm” by George Orwell for the computational tagging by using the Brill Tagger software executed on Command Prompt. Each chapter has been analyzed data and represented in the form of tables and pie charts individually. A mixed-method approach has been inculcated to accomplish the data analysis on the source text as it includes both the qualitative and quantitative data. This research suggests that many issues are considered as a limitation of the online computational tagger in which the use of phrasal expression and the lexical placement according to the context is evident. The software lacks to analyze the lexical categories that change their class on the grounds of word placement and needs a manual re check in order to authenticate the results. Moreover, the role of lexical categories in English Language Teaching has been highlighted and derives that lexical categories are crucial to the effective language teaching which is why Lexical Syllabus along with task based approach has been incorporated in classrooms. This research is also further helpful for the teachers in designing the activities related to the POS with the reference of text because the selected novel
