If you have problems understanding what xsl:apply-templates does, you really need to go back to the spec or a book...

  <xsl:call-template name="tokenizer" />

Template just defines the processing to be carried out when a node that matches the match pattern is processed. Which nodes are processed is defined by the select expression in xsl:apply-templates. So, if you call

  <xsl:apply-templates select="THEME"/>

every THEME child of the current node will be processed, but if you have

  <xsl:apply-templates select="THEME[contains(@label,substring-before($text, ' '))]"/>

those THEME children of the current node whose label attribute contain the substring that comes before the first SPACE character in $text.

I don't remember what your source looked like. Basically, where you want to process the matching THEME elements, instead of

   <xsl:for-each select="THEME[predicate]">

just call the tokenizer template.

If this doesn't work, could you resend your test source, stylesheet so far and the expect output.
