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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $444,630 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate how signers and gesturers communicate about everyday activities and events. The project, funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will examine communication in sign language by deaf signers, communication in gesture by hearing speakers, and communication in sign language by...
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 understanding...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $763,142 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct research on the semantic content of tactile and visual textures for enhancing communication through vision and touch. The key objectives are to: (1) understand the semantics of visual texture for visual communication, and (2) understand the semantics of tactile texture for haptic communication....
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 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 collect...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports the documentation and interdisciplinary study of three languages with unusual grammatical structures. The $244,516 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, will result in the development of grammars, lexicons, and transcribed texts for these languages. The project leverages automatic speech recognition technologies and...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $268,067 to develop advanced speech technologies and create educational resources for language research and learning. The project addresses critical language needs by leveraging automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech, and other speech technologies to bridge the gap between linguistic research and practical application. Key activities include developing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, will support research to better understand how infants learn language by studying their interactions with caregivers. The $213,467 award, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will fund two related studies. The first study will observe parents and infants playing together while recording the infants' eye movements to determine when speech is...
