Basically, she’s trying to identify about half a dozen genealogically and areally unrelated languages each of which meets all of the following criteria:<br>
<br>
1. The language lacks grammaticalized definiteness marking. <br>
<br>
2. A text or corpus of texts is available for the language that has Leipzig-standard interlinear glosses and translations in English or Spanish.<br>
<br>
3. The text (corpus) comprises at least about 1000 clauses, but ideally twice that or more.<br>
<br>
4. The individual texts should be long-ish and their referring expressions shouldn’t be predominately proper names. <br>
<br>
If you’re aware of a language so resourced, please let me know!<br>
<br>
Many thanks! — Juergen<br>
