Definition of simplified tags in NLP?

I'm having trouble trying to find a good resource that would tell me what simplified tags in NLP mean. I understand that you can use:

nltk.help.upenn_tagset()

to help determine what the tags mean if we are using unsimplified version of tagging; however, I can't find a resource for the simplified version.

I really am only working with:

PRON
VERB
NOUN
DET
ADJ
ADV
PRT
ADP
CONJ
NUM

I can obviously get what some of these mean, but am having trouble with others (i.e. PRT...etc.)

Can anyone help point me to a resource in defining these tags?
