[Lingtyp] Glossed corpora of languages w/o grammaticalized definiteness marking

[Seino van Breugel]

Dear Juergen,

At the end of this month, my book *Atong Texts: Glossed, Translated and
Annotated Narratives in a Tibeto-Burman Language of Meghalaya, Northeast
India *will be published by Brill. I think that some of the texts in this
book will be very useful to you.

Kind regards,

Seino
