This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 in funding to support an early career scientist developing a framework for process-level models of human language comprehension. The goal is to bridge the gap between human language behavior and computational models by analyzing incremental language processing behavior, particularly in response to imperfect input, and implementing models to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $244,516 to document three languages with unusual grammatical structures in a multilingual region. The project aims to expand existing language databases and advance the understanding of language evolution, structure, and function. Key products will include grammars, lexicons, and transcribed texts, leveraging automatic speech recognition technologies....
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...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $182,694, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to Rutgers, The State University. The grant, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports research focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition, particularly the learning of word morphology and phonology. The research aims to develop...
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...
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 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 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 $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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $351,534 to Michigan State University to conduct research on sociolinguistic development in pre- and early adolescents. The project will leverage a novel audio diary method to create a large corpus of longitudinal adolescent speech data, which will be acoustically analyzed to test hypotheses regarding individual and community-level language change....

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 apply this measure to examine how non-systematicity affects grammatical structure across different languages. The findings will advance theoretical linguistics and computational cognitive science. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
