Comments: Text may be essentially in Spanish with a large percentage of English loanwords (some of which are naturalized to Spanish grammar), or it may be in English with a large percentage of Spanish loanwords, or in the continuum between them. A judgement call by the tagger is expected to be made with regard to the base prefix to be used.
