[AndreaWesterinen]

sent1 = "John gave Susan a raise." sent2 = "John helped Susan to raise money." sent3 = "John raised money."

Processing: nlp_sentence = nlp(sent#) for token in nlp_sentence: print(token.morph, token.dep_, token.pos_, token.lemma_, token.ent_type_)

Results for John and Susan: sent1 => Number=Sing nsubj PROPN John Number=Sing dative PROPN Susan PERSON sent2 => Number=Sing nsubj PROPN John Number=Sing dobj PROPN Susan PERSON sent3 => Number=Sing nsubj PROPN John PERSON
