Can WordNetLemmatizer in Nltk stem words?

I want to find word stems with Wordnet. Does wordnet have a function for stemming? I use this import for my stemming, but it doesn't work as expected.

from nltk.stem.wordnet import WordNetLemmatizer
WordNetLemmatizer().lemmatize('Having','v')
Solution

  • Try using one of the stemmers in nltk.stem module, such as the PorterStemmer. Here's an online demo of NLTK's stemmers: http://text-processing.com/demo/stem/
