foreign: foreign words

We use foreign to label sequences of foreign words. These are given a linear analysis: the head is the first token in the foreign phrase. In the Italian Treebank, the only cases attested appear with words POS tagged as X. The only exception to that happens when foreign proper names are part of a sequence of foreign words (as in the last example).

Dulcis/X in/X fundo/X, il portamento .
foreign(Dulcis, in)
foreign(Dulcis, fundo)
Home/X run/X .
foreign(Home, run)
Il primo disco si chiama Greetings/X from/X Asbury/PROPN Park/PROPN .
foreign(Greetings, from)
foreign(Greetings, Asbury)
foreign(Greetings, Park)
