The task consists in detecting lexical borrowings (coming mostly from English) in Spanish newswire texts. Lexical borrowings are words from other languages that have recently been imported into Spanish.
Systems must delimitate lexical borrowings using BIO encoding and annotate them with 2 tags: ENG: for English borrowings and OTHER: for borrowings from other languages.
