string-entity #230

Hi, There are two instance of "string-entity" in the Little Prince corpus. However, nothing is explained in the manual. How should we annotate the expressive "What !"? I feel like (w / what :mode expressive), my colleague disagrees! Tnx

Just updated: https://github.com/amrisi/amr-guidelines/blob/master/amr.md See in particular: https://amr.isi.edu/doc/amr-dict.html#string-entity

The two instances of "string-entity" in the Little Prince corpus are not the best examples of the use of "string-entity". For an exclamation of surprise ("What!"), I would agree with your (w / what :mode expressive) in analogy to the "Yes!!!" example at https://www.isi.edu/~ulf/amr/lib/amr-dict.html#exclamation However, if, based on the context, it's more of a question ("What?") then (a / amr-unknown) would be better.
