The Workshop on Theoretical East Asian Linguistics (TEAL) was first launched in 1990 by the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Irvine, as a mid-sized workshop intended to promote research in East Asian linguistics. Since 2002, the TEAL Workshop has become an important international forum for presenting new theories and exchanging novel ideas concerning East Asian languages and their implications for linguistic theory.
