How to do it...

1. Develop and import the following packages using Python:

import numpy as np 
from nltk.corpus import brown 

2. Describe a function that divides text into chunks:

# Split a text into chunks 
def splitter(content, num_of_words): 
   words = content.split(' ') 
   result = [] 

3. Initialize the following programming lines to get the assigned variables:

   current_count = 0 
   current_words = []

4. Start the iteration using words:

   for word in words: 
     current_words.append(word) 
     current_count += 1 

5. After getting the essential amount of words, reorganize the variables:

     if current_count == num_of_words: 
       result.append(' '.join(current_words)) 
       current_words = [] 
       current_count = 0 

6. Attach the chunks to the output variable:

       result.append(' '.join(current_words)) 
       return result 

7. Import the data of Brown corpus and consider the first 10000 words:

if __name__=='__main__': 
  # Read the data from the Brown corpus 
  content = ' '.join(brown.words()[:10000]) 

8. Describe the word size in every chunk:

  # Number of words in each chunk 
  num_of_words = 1600 

9. Initiate a pair of significant variables:

  chunks = [] 
  counter = 0 

10. Print the result by calling the splitter function:

  num_text_chunks = splitter(content, num_of_words) 
  print "Number of text chunks =", len(num_text_chunks) 

11. The result obtained after chunking is shown in the following screenshot:
