Can someone give me a short explanation?

[Senthoorkumaran Punniamoorthy]

I found this code in the book text processing with Python. But having little 
difficulty understanding how exactly it works and what should be passed as 
argument? Can someone decode this for me please?

apply_each = lambda fns, args=[]: map(apply, fns, [args]*len(fns))
