Theoretical East Asian Linguistics (TEAL-5)

About TEAL-5

The TEAL Workshop was first launched in 1990 at the University of California, Irvine as a mid-size workshop intended to foster research on East Asian linguistics. It has been an important forum for presenting new theories and exchanging novel ideas that bear on East Asian languages with theoretical interests. Since 2002, the TEAL Workshop has been an international event. It was held at Doshisha University, Japan in 2002, at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan in 2004, and at Harvard University, USA in 2005. Last year TEAL was held at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in conjunction with the Sixth GLOW in Asia.

TEAL-5 is organized by Project A5 of the Collaborative Research Center 632 'Information Structure' funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
