- 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 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $424,019 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the linguistic phenomenon of clausal complementation across various languages. The project aims to document and describe the strategies used for embedding one sentence within another, known as clausal embedding, through naturalistic data collection and fieldwork. The research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
- This $319,688 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research at the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. on linguistic microvariation in complementizers and complementation. Over a three-year period from June 2022 to May 2025, the grantee will conduct detailed interviews with native speakers to rigorously document and analyze functional variation in complementizers—words like "that" which...
- 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 Project Grant award for $170,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an early career postdoctoral researcher to conduct a cross-linguistic study of complex verbal predicates. The 2-year fellowship, beginning on January 1, 2025, will enable the researcher to investigate particle verb constructions in four understudied languages, with the goal of advancing scientific knowledge of verbal argument structures....
- This $155,811 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research on how people adapt to and track patterns in language reference and interpretation. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is conducting this research project from March 2025 to August 2028. The study aims to examine how humans develop robust mechanisms for understanding language in context by tracking patterns in reference, such as...
- 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...
