CRPC TAGSET

The tag set follows the CINTIL tags (Barcelar et al, 2006) but with some modifications: multi-word units do not
receive special POS tags as is the case in CINTIL (except a small list of latin expressions), and
contracted forms (pelo, do) are kept and receive a double tag (pelo/PREP+DET), while in CINTIL these
words are split into two separate tokens.
