Hi! There goes a newbie trouble:
for i in range(0, len(subject)):
      if subject[i] in preps:
          psubject.append(noun_syn_parser(subject[0:i]))
          subject[0:i] = []
     

Perhaps (untested!):
start = 0
for i, subj in enumerate(subject):
  if subj in preps:
      psubject.append(noun_syn_parser(subject[start:i]))
      start = i
subject = subject[start:]  # optional if you don't need the leftovers
   

Mitja's last line (I didn't see his post -- forwarding delays I presume)
  subject[0:lastFound] = []
would not rebind, so that better reflects the OP's subject[0:i] = [] line.
Perhaps the enumerate was useful ;-/

Hi! I almost got it but your code is much more simple (and works). I 
hadn't thought in using enumerate.
You see I'm a completely newbie.
Thanks a lot, Bengt!
