Mentions crossing sentence boundaries

[martinpopel]

Are mentions allowed to cross sentence boundaries? (I can imagine e.g. "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." may be such case, depending on sentence segmentation rules.) Is the following mention substance-14 (spanning "Ingredients Method 1") correctly annotated?

# sent_id = GUM_whow_cupcakes-8
# text = Ingredients
# s_type = frag
1       Ingredients     ingredient      NOUN    NNS     Number=Plur     0       root    _       Discourse=preparation:12->19|Entity=(substance-14

# sent_id = GUM_whow_cupcakes-9
# text = Method 1: Basic Vanilla Vegan Cupcakes:
# s_type = frag
1       Method  method  NOUN    NN      Number=Sing     0       root    _       Bridge=abstract-2<abstract-15|Discourse=preparation:13->14|Entity=(abstract-15

No, this is an annotation error, will fix and thanks for reporting! Even though it is conceivable that a mention could cross sentences (especially in discourse deixis), we do not allow it in GUM.
