german-pos-dict

A German part-of-speech dictionary that can be used from Java. This repo contains no code but Morfologik binary files to look up part-of-speech data. As a developer, consider using LanguageTool instead of this. If you really want to use this directly, please check out the unit tests for examples.

Also use LanguageTool to export the data in these dictionaries, as documented here.

The POS tags are documented here.
