Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Theoretical East Asian Linguistics (TEAL) was first launched
in 1990 at the University of California, Irvine 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, at Harvard University, USA in 2005, at The
Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong in 2007, at Potsdam University,
Germany in 2008, at Peking University, China in 2010, at Hiroshima University,
Japan in 2012, at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan in 2013, at University
of Nantes, France in 2014, at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan in
2015, at Academia Sinica, Taiwan in 2017 and most recently at University of
Macau, Macau in 2019.

TEAL-13
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

TEAL-13
MAY 12-14, 2023
NATIONAL TAIWAN NORMAL UNIVERSITY
https://sites.google.com/ntnueng.tw/teal13

We invite submissions for a 20-minute talk (followed by 10 minutes of
discussion) or a poster, addressing theoretical problems in languages spoken
in the area of East Asia, such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or the minority
languages spoken in China and/or Taiwan, and in the area of Southeast Asia,
such as Vietnamese. We welcome comparative work in syntax, semantics,
phonology, morphology, language acquisition, or psycho/neurolinguistics that
contributes to the understanding of Universal Grammar. 

This year we are particularly interested in theoretically-oriented work
bearing on the theme of Silence in East Asian Languages. Silence refers to
anything that is not morphologically realized, including ellipsis and empty
categories resulting from movement or base-generated (such as null
subjects/objects/topics, pro/Pro, covert modals, implicit light
verbs/applicatives). An amazing accomplishment of theoretical linguistic
research is the discovery that different types of silence can/must be
distinguished and that East Asian languages differ as a group from English and
European languages in a clustering of properties, and from each other with
respect to (some of) these properties. But what are the real differences among
these languages, if there are? And if true differences exist, what
clues/correlations do we have in order to understand the differences and how
can they be described? We encourage studies focusing on this theme, though we
also cordially welcome original submissions on any other theoretical issues.
