Counting nouns in a piece of text
In this exercise, we will write two functions, nouns() and proper_nouns() that will count the number of other nouns and proper nouns in a piece of text respectively.
These functions will take in a piece of text and generate a list containing the POS tags for each word. It will then return the number of proper nouns/other nouns that the text contains. We will use these functions in the next exercise to generate interesting insights about fake news.
The en_core_web_sm model has already been loaded as nlp in this exercise.
