[Lingtyp] definiteness

["Ekkehard König"]

Dear Alan,

I recently wrote a paper on definite articles, to be published in some
secret Festschrift. Since this is a well-researched thematic domain, both
descriptively and theoretically, I found it difficult to say things that
are highly original and exciting. Still, it might give you some additional
inspiration, so I attach it to this message.

Best wishes,

Ekkehard
