# enumerateLinguisticTags(in:scheme:options:orthography:using:) Performs linguistic analysis on the specified string by enumerating the specific range of the string, providing the Block with the located tags. ``` func enumerateLinguisticTags(in range: NSRange, scheme: NSLinguisticTagScheme, options: NSLinguisticTagger.Options = [], orthography: NSOrthography?, using block: (NSLinguisticTag?, NSRange, NSRange, UnsafeMutablePointer) -> Void) ``` ## Parameters `range` The range of the string to analyze. `scheme` The tag scheme to use. See Linguistic Tag Schemes for supported values. `options` The linguistic tagger options to use. See [`NSLinguisticTagger.Options`](/documentation/Foundation/NSLinguisticTagger/Options)for the constants. These constants can be combined using the C-Bitwise OR operator. `orthography` The orthography of the string. If `nil`, the linguistic tagger will attempt to determine the orthography from the string content. `block` The Block to apply to the string. The block takes four arguments: - tag: The tag scheme for the token. The opts parameter specifies the types of tagger options that are located. - tokenRange: The range of a string matching the tag scheme. - sentenceRange: The range of the sentence in which the token is found. - stop: A reference to a Boolean value. The block can set the value to to stop further processing of the array. The `stop` argument is an out-only argument. You should only ever set this Boolean to within the Block. ## Discussion This is a convenience method. It is the equivalent of creating an instance of `NSLinguisticTagger`, specifying the receiver as the string to be analyzed, and the orthography (or `nil`) and then invoking the [`NSLinguisticTagger`](/documentation/Foundation/NSLinguisticTagger) method or [`enumerateTags(in:scheme:options:using:)`](/documentation/Foundation/NSLinguisticTagger/enumerateTags(in:scheme:options:using:)). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
