This $56,465 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a multi-year study analyzing the determinants that shape language restoration and development efforts within communities. The principal investigator will utilize a combination of linguistic analyses, observations, interviews, participatory methods, and digital network analysis to track how language is introduced and emerges as a mode of...
This $326,292 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the linguistic outcomes of language contact between an indigenous, endangered language and a socially dominant language in two distinct contact settings. The project specifically examines the production and perception of questions, exploring how the different intonation strategies used by the languages collide in contact...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports the development of a digital phonological atlas to chart the speech patterns of an underexplored language variety. The $238,206 award, granted on May 15, 2025, will enable researchers at Indiana University to conduct linguistic interviews with 160 participants across different regions, utilizing phonetic analysis and spatial mapping tools to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $170,000 to support an early career postdoctoral scientist investigating the emergence of phonological structure in a family homesign system. The award, with a performance period from September 15, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will fund research comparing the linguistic capabilities and development of a family of deaf individuals who have created their own...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 over a 2-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The grant supports an early career postdoctoral researcher to investigate the mechanisms underlying perceptual learning and adaptation to accented speech. The research aims to shed light on how listeners can successfully adapt to the diversity of speech contexts encountered in...
This $285,326 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds a 3-year community-driven documentation project focused on critically endangered, rarely studied, and infrequently documented languages. The project aims to produce transcribed and translated narratives in an open-access, permanently archived collection, develop a research-enriched, community-based interactive multimedia learning site, and conduct...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SPRF) award (CFDA 47.075) provides $170,000 over 2 years to support an early career researcher's investigation into language change and honorific systems. The project, conducted under the sponsorship of Prof. Eric W. Campbell at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will document and describe the rapidly shifting honorific system in an endangered language community. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Fellowship Award provides $160,000 over 2 years to support an early career scientist investigating the neurocognitive processing of dialect variation in grammatical processing. The project, conducted under the sponsorship of Dr. Janet Van Hell at Pennsylvania State University, will use neurocognitive methods such as EEG to study how listeners adjust their expectations of grammar based on...
