title: Practical examples of NLTK use
body: <p>I'm playing around with the <a href="http://www.nltk.org/" rel="noreferrer">Natural Language Toolkit</a> (NLTK).</p>
  
  <p>Its documentation (<a href="http://www.nltk.org/book" rel="noreferrer">Book</a> and <a href="http://nltk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/howto/index.html" rel="noreferrer">HOWTO</a>) are quite bulky and the examples are sometimes slightly advanced. </p>
  
  <p>Are there any good but basic examples of uses/applications of NLTK? I'm thinking of things like the <a href="http://streamhacker.wordpress.com/tag/nltk/" rel="noreferrer">NTLK articles</a> on the <em>Stream Hacker</em> blog. </p>
