Chinking is a part of the chunking process with natural language processing with NLTK. A chink is what we wish to remove from the chunk. We define a chink in a very similar fashion compared to how we defined the chunk.

The reason why you may want to use a chink is when your chunker is getting almost everything you want, but is also picking up some things you don't want. You could keep adding chunker rules, but it may be far easier to just specify a chink to remove from the chunk.
