This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $238,206 to Indiana University to develop the first digital resource charting the phonological structures of an extensively used yet underexplored form of spoken language. The 5-year project, starting on May 15, 2025 and ending on April 30, 2030, will conduct linguistic interviews with 160 participants across different regions to investigate sound-based...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,000 in funding over two years to support an early career postdoctoral researcher's investigation of linguistic tone patterns and tonal evolution in a typologically unique target language. The goal is to document the diversity of dialects and their tone systems, analyze how the dialects have evolved and diverged, and collect data for in-depth...
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) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career scientist's postdoctoral research at Harvard University investigating the potential role of overheard speech in children's language development. The research aims to thoroughly characterize everyday overheard and child-directed speech, and to understand how speech directed to different addressees may facilitate language learning. Using both...
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's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a project that examines the grammatical structures and language evolution of three multilingual languages. The $244,516 award, effective from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028, will fund the documentation of these languages through the development of grammars, lexicons, and transcribed texts. The project leverages automatic speech recognition...
This $351,534 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on sociolinguistic development in pre- and early adolescents. The primary awardee, Michigan State University, will leverage a novel audio diary method to create a large corpus of adolescent speech and conduct acoustic analysis to test hypotheses regarding language change and how individual linguistic patterns influence broader...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $129,730 to Gallaudet University to create a sign language corpus that captures currently understudied characteristics of visual prosody. The project aims to develop a large corpus of sign language dialogues with annotations to promote data-driven research on the grammatical and emotional functions of visual prosody in sign languages. The...
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 $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...
