Meaning
In definition it has been said that POS means to give definition and context. Here is the definition means to explicitly define the meaning of world, rather then its grammatical background(context)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.154.104.115 (talk) 08:04, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Bad example under issues
The example listed under issues of "the big green fire truck" as a case where the part of speech for fire is ambiguous is a bad example - though a good example of a different reason English is difficult. Almost all linguists would agree that "fire truck" counts as a single noun, regardless of whether it is written as "fire truck", "fire-truck" or "firetruck". The problem here is word detection, not part of speech tagging - this is one of the only cases in English where a noun contains a space. Similarly, in things like "median strip" or "shopping mall" the first words are not adjectives but part of a class of nouns that contain spaces. Not sure how to incorporate into the article though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.188.207.18 (talk) 17:10, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Purpose or Usage
While this article covers many aspects of POS tagging it does not mention the usage. Would it be proper to include this?
