:mode expressive in guidelines #155

Canonical examples of :mode expressive are interjections like "Yippee!". But the guidelines use it for "We went!". Is this correct, or should enthusiastic declarative sentences just be normal declaratives?

Thanks for pointing this out, Nathan. :mode expressive should indeed only be used for a limited number of interjections and not merely for emphasis or because of an exclamation mark. I corrected the AMR guidelines and expanded the AMR Dictionary. We will also need to make some corrections in the AMR corpus where :mode expressive has been overused.
