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 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 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 $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 $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 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 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on the crosslinguistic components of clausal complementation. The $424,019 award, which runs from May 2025 to April 2028, will fund the documentation and description of clausal embedding strategies across a variety of languages through linguistic fieldwork and data collection. The project aims to improve understanding of how languages...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SPRF) award (CFDA 47.075) provides $170,000 over 2 years to support an early career researcher's investigation into language change and honorific systems. The project, conducted under the sponsorship of Prof. Eric W. Campbell at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will document and describe the rapidly shifting honorific system in an endangered language community. The...
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 $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...
