The Second International TEAL Workshop

June 12-13, 2004

[Paper Selection, Speaker, Program, Poster]  [Registration]  [Transportation & Accommodation]  [Online Abstract]

Theoretical East Asian Linguistic Workshop (known as TEAL Workshop) was founded by Department of Linguistics, University of California, Irvine, in 1990 and had been an important forum for presentation of new theories and exchange of novel ideas that bear on East Asian languages with theoretical interests.  Partly because of the suspension of the linguistic program at UC Irvine, ad partly because those who had attended TEAL Workshop thought that it would be a great idea to elevate TEAL Workshop to an international level, in the year 2002 the first "International" TEAL Workshop was held by Doshisha University, Japan, at Doshisha Retreat and International Conference Center in Shika, Japan.  This year Tsing Hua Linguistics is pleased to host the second international TEAL Workshop, and it will organize the workshop along the spirit that had been alive in the meetings of TEAL Workshop in Southern California, that is, to encourage young scholars to present their ideas and to promote the status of East Asian languages as an important source for the research of grammatical theory.
