You cannot dynamically bind object names, only values. You'll have to resort to string manipulation for the table's name. E.g.:

sql = "INSERT INTO {} (word=%s,item_id=%s,word_tag=%s,unstemmed_word=%s, word_position=%s, TF=%s, normalized_term_frequency=%s, sentence=%s,anthology_id=%s)".format(table_name)

cursor.execute(sql % (stemmedWord,fle.split()[0], str(word[1]), uniqeWord, word_pos, TF, normalized_term_frequency, sentence, fle.split()[1].split(".")[0]))
