The University of Texas at Austin received a $390,536 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by February 28, 2025. The grant is funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to support basic research and education in these fields as well as monitor science resources.
Specifically, the University will conduct an artificial language learning study examining the relationship between stress position and quantity sensitivity in stress patterning. The grant will support researchers at the University as they work to advance scientific understanding of language acquisition and processing through their experimental study of how learners detect and represent word stress patterns in novel artificial languages. Findings from this research could provide insights applicable to theories of second language learning.
