The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $384,272 Project Grant to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to conduct "A Microcomparative Study of Negation in Dialectal Variation." This grant, funded through the NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will explore differences in how speakers from various regions and ethnic backgrounds use certain types of negative sentences. The project collects new data from a diverse set of...
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania were awarded a $192,227 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund the acquisition of variation in child language learners project from September 1, 2021 through February 28, 2025. The project aims to contribute to understanding basic research and education in social, behavioral and economic sciences by monitoring and analyzing resources invested...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $160,000 in funding from September 2024 to August 2026 to an early career researcher. The grant supports an investigation into the role of non-systematic structures in natural language, with the goal of better understanding language learning and use. Specifically, the research will develop a novel measure of systematicity in language using information theory tools, and then...
This $148,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research investigating reflexive processing through August 2024. The goal is to better understand the complex mental processes underlying native language comprehension by examining how unique grammatical features shape real-time comprehension of pronouns. The researcher will deploy a series of visual world paradigm experiments to measure how quickly and accurately...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $123,618 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research investigating the impact of experimental language research on participants. The project aims to explore how experimental linguistics studies can be leveraged for public engagement, by examining participants' perceptions of language and linguistics and testing whether improved science...
The Trustees Of The University Of Pennsylvania received a $481,610 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to support research titled "EVENT STRUCTURE IN LANGUAGE AND COGNITION" through October 31, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields as well as monitor science investments. Under this award, the University will conduct...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $450,000 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) under the NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research on the cognitive mechanisms supporting the production of sentences involving recursion and displacement across different languages. The project aims to use structural priming...
This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific preferences...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 in funding to support an early career scientist developing a framework for process-level models of human language comprehension. The goal is to bridge the gap between human language behavior and computational models by analyzing incremental language processing behavior, particularly in response to imperfect input, and implementing models to...
This $155,811 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, will fund research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to investigate how people track and adapt to patterns in language reference. The research aims to understand how human language learners extract and use reference patterns to interpret a speaker's intended meaning, and how this adaptation process contributes to language change over time....
