Given a word, the task is to write a Python program to find if the word is a noun or not using Python.
Examples:
Input: India Output: India is noun. Input: Writing Output: Writing is not a noun.
There are various libraries that can be used to solve this problem.
Approach 1: PoS tagging using NLTK
Python3
# import required modules import nltk nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger') # taking input text as India text = "India"ans = nltk.pos_tag() # ans returns a list of tuple val = ans[0][1] # checking if it is a noun or not if(val == 'NN' or val == 'NNS' or val == 'NNPS' or val == 'NNP'): print(text, " is a noun.") else: print(text, " is not a noun.") |
Output:
India is a noun.
Approach 2: PoS tagging using Spacy
Python3
# import required modules import spacy nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm") # taking input text = "Writing" # returns a document of object doc = nlp(text) # checking if it is a noun or not if(doc[0].tag_ == 'NNP'): print(text, " is a noun.") else: print(text, " is not a noun.") |
Output:
Writing is not a noun.
