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...
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 (CFDA 47.075) program provides $195,040 to Stony Brook University, a prominent research institution, for a 3-year collaborative research project on subregular inference of morpho-phonology. The research aims to advance the understanding of how humans learn language, specifically the mental representations of words and the patterns governing their pronunciation. The project will develop...
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems.
