Project Grant 2109654
- This $386,226 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and educational activities at the University of Massachusetts related to representing and learning stress patterns in human languages. Specifically, the grant funds work applying machine learning techniques from computer science to test competing linguistic theories about how word stress systems are represented mentally and acquired. It also examines using neural networks, an understudied representation approach in...
- This EAGER: HNDS-I: NEXT STEPS IN ACOUSTIC PHONETICS RESEARCH federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support the development of a new visualization application and software toolkit for research and teaching in speech communication. The $300,000 award, with a period of performance from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will fund two main activities: (1) writing and testing software for...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,242 Project Grant to The Washington University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will support research modeling the cognitive challenges of accented speech. The research team will conduct experiments measuring cognitive processing during listening to accented speech using methods from listening effort literature and behavioral economics. Eye-tracking will test if listeners...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $268,067 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to advance linguistic research through the development of speech technologies. The key products and services delivered under this 2-year award, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, include: Creation of benchmark datasets, comprehensive lexica, and advanced data...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to researchers at the University of Michigan from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The grant funds a research project titled "The Temporal Organization of Prosody in Multimodal Speech and Co-Speech Gestures" under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This Project Grant will support research contributing to scientific understanding of the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $245,398 to support research estimating articulatory constriction place and timing from speech acoustics under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The award funds development of a speech inversion tool to recover details of articulatory movements from acoustic speech recordings using machine learning methods. Researchers will extend...
- This $116,797 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to document, analyze, and revitalize a contact language that has undergone significant grammatical change. The project will record 40 hours of natural speech through sociolinguistic interviews and linguistic elicitation, transcribe and annotate the data, and develop an open-access digital corpus. Grounded in theories of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 over a 2-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The grant supports an early career postdoctoral researcher to investigate the mechanisms underlying perceptual learning and adaptation to accented speech. The research aims to shed light on how listeners can successfully adapt to the diversity of speech contexts encountered in...
- This $326,292 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the linguistic outcomes of language contact between an indigenous, endangered language and a socially dominant language in two distinct contact settings. The project specifically examines the production and perception of questions, exploring how the different intonation strategies used by the languages collide in contact...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $160,151 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: LINGUISTIC PRODUCTION, PERCEPTION, AND IDENTITY IN THE CAREER MOBILITY OF BLACK FACULTY IN LINGUISTICS AND THE LANGUAGE SCIENCES." The research will be conducted from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024 under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This program aims to promote...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $140,351 to fund research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PROSODIC ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION OF PHONETIC SAMPLES FOR IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF STRESS AND INTONATION." The research will be conducted by the University of Washington from September 2021 through February 2025. The grant supports work under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This program aims to advance basic scientific knowledge in these fields and monitor investments in science. Specifically, the funded research project will analyze and visualize phonetic samples to better understand stress and intonation in speech. Insights from this collaborative work have the potential to enhance comprehension across disciplines studying human communication.
