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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 over two years to support an early career scientist developing a framework for computational models of human language comprehension. The goal is to understand how algorithms can adjust their complexity to efficiently process imperfect linguistic input, similar to the human brain's capacity for accurate and flexible language processing.

This $649,812 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research examining how the brain processes language and meaning through different sensory modalities. The primary awardee, New York University (NYU), will use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the neural dynamics of syntactic and semantic computations when language input lacks temporal sequencing, such as flashed written sentences. NYU...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a postdoctoral fellowship to study the role of non-systematic structures in natural language. The fellowship, awarded to an early career scientist under the sponsorship of Dr. Roger Levy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, aims to examine the prevalence of non-systematicity in language, the factors that drive its emergence, and the implications for...
The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "BUILDING A COMPREHENSIVE THEORY OF PRAGMATIC LANGUAGE THROUGH LARGE-SCALE EXPERIMENTS, COMPUTATION, AND NEURODIVERSITY" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023.
The grant supports research under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in social, behavioral and...
This $674,197 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of California, Merced on how human language processing adapts to different environments and communication contexts. The project investigates the cognitive processes that enable smooth human communication, including how listeners make rational inferences to understand speech in noisy or incomplete signals....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $179,857 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on the development of non-local syntactic dependency acquisition in infants. The project aims to examine when and how infants represent abstract grammatical dependencies that can occur at a distance, which is a core property of human language syntax. The research will use behavioral...
This $345,907 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research into integrating linguistic and social meaning in imprecision resolution. The grant was awarded to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania on September 1, 2022 for work concluding on February 28, 2025.
The research will explore how people interpret sentences based on stereotypical features of the speaker, such as whether they sound like a "surfer...
