foreign: foreign words

There are a handful of instances of intra-sentential Irish/English code-mixing in the treebank. Where possible we analyse the sentential structure using the appropriate labels for the English words. We only use the foreign relation when we want to explicitly mark the English words as foreign, e.g. the title of an English film in quotation marks, an example of an Irish-English dictionary entry within a sentence, or an Irish-English sign (see example below). When the foreign label is used, the sequence of words is given a linear analysis with the first word as the head.

Example

ar oscailt / open : Bealtaine - Meán Fómhair / May - September `open / open : May - September / May - September ‘

ar oscailt / open : Bealtaine - Meán Fómhair / May - September \n open / open : May - September / May - September
foreign(oscailt,open)
foreign(Bealtaine,May)
foreign(May,September)
