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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $711,202 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to study how children's word meanings and vocabulary development impact their long-term outcomes. The grant is funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, which supports basic research to advance scientific understanding and promote the welfare of the nation. The key products of this 3-year...
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) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $230,454.00 to Georgetown University to conduct research on statistical learning and consolidation in language and non-language patterns. The aim of this 3-year project, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, is to understand how children and adults learn language from speech and visual patterns, with a focus on the consolidation process that...
The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a $217,800 two-year Project Grant to researchers at Berkeley, California to study the contributions of the environment and social interaction to language emergence. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the researchers will investigate how environmental and social factors shape...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $179,857 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on the development of non-local syntactic dependency acquisition in infants. The project aims to examine when and how infants represent abstract grammatical dependencies that can occur at a distance, which is a core property of human language syntax. The research will use behavioral...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $407,738 Project Grant to Vanderbilt University to investigate how individual differences in language exposure impact grammatical processing. 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, influence their preferences and performance when...
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...
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 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...
