    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper has presented an overview of a tool for tagging text along with various issues that have come up in disambiguating morphological parses of Turkish words. We have noted that the use of constraints is very effective in morphological disambiguation. Preliminary results indicate that the tagger can tag about 98-99% of the texts accurately with very minimal user intervention, though it is conceivable that it may do worse on more substantial text - but there is certainly room for improvement in the mechanisms provided. The tool also provides for recognition of multi-word constructs that behave as a single syntactic and semantic entity in higher level analysis, and the compilation of information for fine-tuning of the morphological analyzer and the tagger itself. We, however, feel that our approach does not deal satisfactorily with most aspects of word-order freeness. We are currently working on an extension whereby the rules do not apply immediately but vote on their preferences and a final global vote tally determines the assignments.</Paragraph>
