With the help of nltk.tokenize.word_tokenize() method, we are able to extract the tokens from string of characters by using tokenize.word_tokenize() method. It actually returns the syllables from a single word. A single word can contain one or two syllables.
Syntax : tokenize.word_tokenize() Return : Return the list of syllables of words.
Example #1 : In this example we can see that by using tokenize.word_tokenize() method, we are able to extract the syllables from stream of words or sentences. Python3 1=1
# import SyllableTokenizer() method from nltk
from nltk import word_tokenize
   
# Create a reference variable for Class word_tokenize
tk = SyllableTokenizer()
   
# Create a string input
gfg = "Antidisestablishmentarianism"
   
# Use tokenize method
geek = tk.tokenize(gfg)
   
print(geek)
Output :
['An', 'ti', 'dis', 'es', 'ta', 'blish', 'men', 'ta', 'ria', 'nism']
Example #2 : Python3 1=1
# import SyllableTokenizer() method from nltk
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
   
# Create a reference variable for Class word_tokenize
tk = SyllableTokenizer()
   
# Create a string input
gfg = "Gametophyte"
   
# Use tokenize method
geek = tk.tokenize(gfg)
   
print(geek)
Output :
['Ga', 'me', 'to', 'phy', 'te']
