                             AffixTagger

A tagger that chooses a token's tag based on a leading or trailing substring of its word string. (It is important to note that these substrings are not necessarily "true" morphological affixes). In particular, a fixed-length substring of the word is looked up in a table, and the corresponding tag is returned. Affix taggers are typically constructed by training them on a tagged corpus; see the constructor.
