The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,058 Project Grant to Trustees of Boston University to conduct collaborative research on quantifying sign reduction in sign language using human pose estimation. The research project, funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), investigates phonetic variation in signed languages by analyzing patterns of sign articulation. The researchers leverage computer vision techniques to extract anatomical...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $149,999 supports research on American Sign Language grammar through 2026. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the collaborative project will analyze usage of specific ASL signs in online videos to contribute to understanding ASL structure. It will establish best practices for accessible research using internet data and increase participation of deaf linguists. Specifically, researchers will...
This project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $149,999 to Gallaudet University to study American Sign Language usage. The university will collaborate with deaf researchers to analyze instances of "what" signs in a large sample of American Sign Language videos posted online. Through this analysis, the project aims to contribute to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program awarded a $299,247 Project Grant to Chapman University to investigate phonetic variation in sign language. The 3-year project will leverage computer vision and a sign language lexical database developed under prior NSF funding to analyze patterns of phonetic reduction in over 100,000 videos of signs produced by deaf signers. Using human pose estimation techniques, the researchers will extract anatomical...
This $150,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on American Sign Language usage and grammar through analysis of online video data. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the collaborative project between The University of New Mexico and deaf researchers aims to 1) contribute to understanding ASL grammar patterns, 2) establish best practices for analyzing internet video data, and 3) increase deaf participation in linguistic...
This Project Grant award of $170,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an early career scientist investigating the emergence of phonological structure in a family homesign system created by Deaf individuals. The research aims to understand how linguistic capabilities are influenced by unique childhood communication experiences, and how the characteristics of the signing community impact the structure of an...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $136,745 supports a one-year research project titled "LANGDIV: Tracking the Core Lexicon in the Tactile Modality of an Emerging Language" at the University of Chicago. The project aims to study how language can emerge and evolve in the tactile modality, building on prior research on signed languages in the visual-manual modality. The researchers will examine the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $456,799 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The five-year award will support research examining how observing gestures with varying relationships to speech impacts second language learning. Specifically, the awardee will study how gestures congruent and incongruent with non-native speech sounds and word meanings affect subsequent processing of learned...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,551 to Gallaudet University to strengthen the pipeline for deaf scientists in signed language research. The key activities supported include:
Providing a group of deaf college and university students with professional development through pre- and post-conference mentorship activities focused on engaging in academic research, presenting work at...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $170,130 to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to create a large sign language corpus inclusive of dialogues with annotations capturing understudied characteristics of visual prosody. The project aims to develop a tested method for representing these characteristics, produce best practice guidelines, and disseminate the research...
