nlp2. Concordance in Python NLTK

Concordance gives the context of some text inside a corpus.

Here, we iterate over three strings in a Python list and see what is contained in Wall Street Journal for those entries.

Unlike the count method, which returns the integer, the concordance method returns None, but just prints its results.

    n = text7.count(st)
    print("The string %s ocurrs %d times" % (st,n))
    print("The occurences:")
    text7.concordance(st,50)
