6. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This work has shown how Eric Brill's rule-based PoS tagger can be applied for highly agglutinative languages with a high degree of accuracy. The results presented in this work show that tagging performance for languages with complex morphological structure can be greatly improved by changing the maximum length of the first/last character of a word from four to six in the lexical templates of the lexical learner module.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Also, it is shown that using a large tag set marking inflectional properties of a word in the training and tagging process improves the accuracy, when not considering the correctness of the subtags at the evaluation.</Paragraph>
