indefinite nouns in discourse

[Natalie Batmanian]

Dear Info Childes:

I am looking for references on work in corpora analyses or experiments 
that shows adult and child preferences for definite animate nouns to be 
the subject in a sentence and correspondingly interpret an indefinite 
animate noun to be the direct object in the same sentence.

Thanks in advance. Best,
Natalie Batmanian
