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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) grant award of $407,738 to Vanderbilt University supports a research project investigating the factors that influence how humans speak and understand language. The project aims to gain a better understanding of how an individual's experience with language, including reading habits and exposure to different text types, as well as cognitive abilities like working memory and processing speed, impact...
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...
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 Project Grant award of $195,040 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition. The award, running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund a collaborative research project focused on understanding how people form mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern their pronunciation....
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 Project Grant award for $182,694 was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports collaborative research to investigate how humans learn the words and pronunciation patterns of their language. The research aims to advance understanding of the computational and structural principles that guide the formation of mental representations of words and their morphological and phonological patterning....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $123,618 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research investigating the impact of experimental language research on participants. The project aims to explore how experimental linguistics studies can be leveraged for public engagement, by examining participants' perceptions of language and linguistics and testing whether improved science...
This $285,326 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides funding for a community-driven documentation project focused on critically endangered, rarely studied, and infrequently documented languages. The key products of this 3-year project include:
Transcribed and translated narrative recordings in an open-access, permanently archived collection
Development of a research-enriched,...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), aims to better understand the brain mechanisms supporting language production and comprehension in humans. The $830,432 award to the University of California, Berkeley will leverage advanced neuroimaging and computational techniques to create high-resolution maps of brain activity during language tasks. This research seeks to...
