After tokenization, spaCy can **parse** and **tag** a given `Doc`. This is where
|
||
the trained pipeline and its statistical models come in, which enable spaCy to
|
||
**make predictions** of which tag or label most likely applies in this context.
|
||
A trained component includes binary data that is produced by showing a system
|
||
enough examples for it to make predictions that generalize across the language –
|
||
for example, a word following "the" in English is most likely a noun.
|
||
|
||
Linguistic annotations are available as
|
||
[`Token` attributes](/api/token#attributes). Like many NLP libraries, spaCy
|
||
**encodes all strings to hash values** to reduce memory usage and improve
|
||
efficiency. So to get the readable string representation of an attribute, we
|
||
need to add an underscore `_` to its name:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
### {executable="true"}
|
||
import spacy
|
||
|
||
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
|
||
doc = nlp("Apple is looking at buying U.K. startup for $1 billion")
|
||
|
||
for token in doc:
|
||
print(token.text, token.lemma_, token.pos_, token.tag_, token.dep_,
|
||
token.shape_, token.is_alpha, token.is_stop)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> - **Text:** The original word text.
|
||
> - **Lemma:** The base form of the word.
|
||
> - **POS:** The simple [UPOS](https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/)
|
||
> part-of-speech tag.
|
||
> - **Tag:** The detailed part-of-speech tag.
|
||
> - **Dep:** Syntactic dependency, i.e. the relation between tokens.
|
||
> - **Shape:** The word shape – capitalization, punctuation, digits.
|
||
> - **is alpha:** Is the token an alpha character?
|
||
> - **is stop:** Is the token part of a stop list, i.e. the most common words of
|
||
> the language?
|
||
|
||
| Text | Lemma | POS | Tag | Dep | Shape | alpha | stop |
|
||
| ------- | ------- | ------- | ----- | ---------- | ------- | ------- | ------- |
|

| Apple | apple | `PROPN` | `NNP` | `nsubj` | `Xxxxx` | `True` | `False` |

> #### Tip: Understanding tags and labels
|
||
>
|
||
> Most of the tags and labels look pretty abstract, and they vary between
|
||
> languages. `spacy.explain` will show you a short description – for example,
|
||
> `spacy.explain("VBZ")` returns "verb, 3rd person singular present".

Using spaCy's built-in [displaCy visualizer](/usage/visualizers), here's what
|
||
our example sentence and its dependencies look like:
|
||
|
||
import DisplaCyLongHtml from 'images/displacy-long.html'; import { Iframe } from
|
||
'components/embed'
|
||
|
||
<Iframe title="displaCy visualization of dependencies and entities" html={DisplaCyLongHtml} height={450} />
