error about 'list' object has no attribute 'split'

Question

The code below does not run. The parameter passed to the function is a list of strings. AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'

base_train = [
('este trabalho e agradável','alegria'),
('gosto de ficar no seu aconchego','alegria'),
('fiz a adesão ao curso hoje porque eu gostei','alegria'),
('eu sou admirada por muitos','alegria'),
('adoro como você e','alegria'),
('adoro seu cabelo macio','alegria')

def apply_Stemmer(text):
stemmer = nltk.stem.RSLPStemmer()
sentence_no_Stemming = []
for (words, sentiment) in text:
    com_Stemming = [str(stemmer.stem(p)) for p in words.split()]
    sentence_no_Stemming.append((with_Stemming, sentiment))
return sentence_no_Stemming

sentence_with_Stem_train = apply_Stemmer(base_train)

Answer 1

You have:

for (words, sentiment) in text:
    com_Stemming = [str(stemmer.stem(p)) for p in words.split()]

The error tells you that words in the iterations is are lists, so you can't use the str.split() method on them. Try:

for (words, sentiment) in text:
    com_Stemming = [str(stemmer.stem(p)) for p in words]
