question   (AMR annotation guidance)

For yes-no questions, use :mode interrogative

Example:  "Did he die?"
     (d / die-01 :polarity (a / amr-unknown)
           :ARG1 (h / he))

Example:  "Are you hungry ?"
     (h / hunger-01 :polarity (a / amr-unknown)
           :ARG0 (y / you))

For wh-questions, use amr-unknown to indicate the target of a question:

Example:  What did the girl find?
     (f / find-01
           :ARG0 (g / girl)
           :ARG1 (a / amr-unknown))

Example:  Whose car is this?
     (c / car
           :poss (a / amr-unknown)
           :domain (t / this))

Example:  How old is your father ?
     (p / person
           :ARG0-of (h / have-rel-role-91
                 :ARG1 (y / you)
                 :ARG2 (f / father))
           :age (a / amr-unknown))

Do NOT also use :mode interrogative when you already use amr-unknown.
Do NOT use amr-unknown for anything other than a question target.

Not all sentences containing words such as who or what are questions.
Sometimes, they are used as a relative pronouns rather than interrogative pronouns.

Example:  The boy saw the girl who wanted him.
     (s / see-01
           :ARG0 (b / boy)
           :ARG1 (g / girl
                 :ARG0-of (w / want-01
                       :ARG1 b)))

Example:  I know what you think .
     (k / know-01
           :ARG0 (i / i)
           :ARG1 (t / thing
                 :ARG1-of (t2 / think-01
                       :ARG0 (y / you))))

Example:  I don't know which country he is from .
     (k / know-01 :polarity -
           :ARG0 (i / i)
           :ARG1 (c / country
                 :source-of (h / he)))
