This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research on the linguistic components of clausal complementation across diverse languages. The $424,019 award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) aims to document and describe the grammatical properties associated with clausal embedding through linguistic fieldwork and data collection. The project will gather naturalistic...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $439,222 will fund research into the typology of subordinate clauses across languages at the University of Rochester from August 2022 to July 2025. The project has two main components. The first is a large-scale data collection effort using novel elicitation methods to study subordinate clause inferences in an under-resourced language. The second develops a computational model to identify semantic predicate classes across unrelated...
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 $326,292 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on the linguistic outcomes of language contact between an indigenous, endangered language and a socially dominant language in two distinct contact settings. The 3-year project, which runs from August 2024 to July 2027, examines the production and perception of questions, exploring how the different intonation strategies of the two...
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 federal Project Grant award, valued at $182,694, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports collaborative research to better understand the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition, including how individuals learn word morphology and phonology. The research activities aim to develop computational models and algorithms that can interpret the mental representations of words and the...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $170,000 will support an early career postdoctoral researcher to conduct a cross-linguistic study of complex verbal predicates, specifically particle verb constructions, in four understudied languages. The goal is to advance scientific knowledge of verbal argument structures by providing crucial empirical data to test hypotheses about complex predicate structures and enrich...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $457,997 to Indiana University to build a 1.4-million-word syntactically parsed electronic corpus spanning 900 years of a single language. The corpus will allow researchers to investigate grammatical change and variation over time, as well as enable comparisons to similar developments in related languages. The project involves manual annotation of...
This $139,801 National Science Foundation project grant supports the University of Texas at Austin in documenting an endangered language variety spoken in rural villages. Over a two-year period ending June 2024, the university will interview native speakers to create a grammar of the traditional language and conduct detailed linguistic analysis. This work under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) aims to advance understanding of contact-driven linguistic...
