foreign: foreign words

We use foreign to label sequences of foreign words. These are given a linear analysis: the head is the last token in the foreign phrase.

foreign does not apply to loanwords or to foreign names. It applies to quoted foreign text incorporated in a sentence/discourse of the host language (unless we want to and know how to annotate the internal structure according to the syntax of the foreign language).
