International Workshop on Theoretical East Asian Linguistics (TEAL)

The Workshop on Theoretical East Asian Linguistics (TEAL) was first launched in 1990 in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Irvine as a mid-size workshop intended to foster research on East Asian linguistics. Since 2002, the TEAL Workshop has gone international. It has been an important forum for presenting new theories and exchanging novel ideas that bear on East Asian languages with theoretical interests.
