Venue: Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS), Japan, https://www.tufs.ac.jp/english/
The TripleA workshop series was founded in 2014 by linguists from Potsdam and Tübingen with the aim of providing a platform for researchers that conduct theoretically-informed linguistic fieldwork on meaning. Its focus is particularly on languages that are under-represented in the current research landscape, including but not limited to languages of Africa, Asia, and Australasia, hence TripleA.
